What we’re about
This group focuses on ecoVillages outside the urban environment. This meet-up group is for people interested in doing something: planning, developing, constructing and most importantly living as a community. Why are there no working ecoVillages in Northern California like Dancing Rabbit in Missouri, or some of the Northwest ones? Once there's enough interested people, we can get together and discuss and hopefully start visioning and building a Northern California ecoVillage. If you've read the book(s) of the Ringing Cedars series (aka Anastasia) you've probably wondered how one can possibly live or transition to such a life style. If you haven't read Anastasia book – no worries. Anyone is welcome to join, but the geographic focus and meet-ups will be in the greater Northern California area.
