What we’re about
EVNJ is an organization and meetup group that has been around for over a decade. Our members are interested in sustainability, permaculture, cohousing, community, intentional living, and alternative lifestyles. We currently host a monthly meeting on the third Sunday of each month to discuss matters related to our organizational goals and future vision. For some of our meetings, a guest speaker from an existing ecovillage or intentional community will present on various aspects of forming and sustaining our future community or communities. Our meetups will also consist of bi-weekly book club meetings for those who are interested, visits to ecovillages and intentional communities throughout the year, and potentially some recreational meetups to get to know one another on a personal level. Join us if you have an interest in being the change you wish to see in the world! For questions, reach out to our Core Team: [njecovillage@gmail.com](mailto:njecovillage@gmail.com). You can also visit our website at ecovillagenj.org
We look forward to meeting you!

Ever wonder what it would be like to live in a close-knit, supportive community?
Are you looking for deeper connections and a more sustainable way of life?
Come learn about Rocky Brook Cohousing!
Please join us May 15th for an in-person public presentation to learn about Cohousing in Hightstown NJ, and the process to create a custom made neighborhood!
Cohousing is a form of semi-communal living that combines standard private homes with shared community spaces. These intentional communities are designed to promote interaction and connection between neighbors, with common areas and activities that encourage sharing and mutual support. Neighbors often come together over shared meals. Cohousing is characterized by a balance between privacy and community.
