Who are we?
Friends of Ecovillages is a group that has born out of the need to promote and advocate a paradigm out of the dualistic nature of the current paradigm, why dualistic? because our economic model does not see humans as part of nature but as something separate, these view and belief has created a world which has produce the ultimate misery for everyone. As human beings we pressed for time to fulfil our most important need to survive: healing.
The time to heal has come. I dare to say that there is no one single human being on earth that is not yearning for healing and yet we do not how to.
We need to co-create a healing space, a place to recuperate heal the wounds, learn to forgive, learn to mend our devious dualistic natures to finally unleash and fulfil all the potential that nature has embedded us with - that potential is not in some of us - is in everyone.
To scale such magnitude of healing our way of living will have to shift. How? Using Ecovillages, transition towns and cohousing projects, why? because these ways of living facilitate the shifting of our mind from believing we are not part of nature to an experience of connection with nature that is almost instantaneous!
