Update on the L.A. Eco-Village Corner   here    

-  Celebrate & include joy in all our endeavors

-  Take responsibility for each other & the planet through local environmental & social
 action.

-  Learn from nature & live ecologically.

-  Build a dynamic community through diversity & cooperation

-  Inspire compassionate, nurturing, & respectful relationships

-  Create balanced opportunities for individual participation & collective steward

-  Engage our neighbors and broader communities in mutual dialog to  learn, teach
and act 

An ecovillage is
human scale, has mixed land uses, strives to close the waste to resource
loops, supports healthy human development, has multiple centers of
initiative, and can be successfully continued into the indefinite future. 
-Robert Gilman  

Most groups that call themselves ecovillages are striving toward these goals but are far
from fully manifesting them.  This definition is the  common vision of ecovillages
worldwide.
