Please circulate the following program announcement among people and
lists that you feel will most benefit from them, and consider signing
up as well.  I believe these immersion experiences in sustainable
community living are a great way for people to "get" the
transformative nature of the sustainability revolution we are
entering. Thanks for your support!

Dear friends,

As someone who is concerned about our current global crisis, I know
that, like me, you are motivated to take positive action. "But how
can I be most effective?" is a common question.

Do you want to create more supportive and sustainable community in
your life? Would you like to lead a more earth-friendly lifestyle but
sometimes find the choices overwhelming? Come join us for a weekend
or a week at EcoVillage at Ithaca, an internationally recognized
example of sustainable community development.

Our popular EcoVillage Experience Weekends offer an immersion in
sustainable community living.  Enjoy a balance of nature connection
and personal renewal along with a hands-on  experience of  community
learning, organic farming, green building, and more.  EcoVillage
Experience Weekends are offered May 4-6, June 8-10, and September
7-9. For further details, please see

Creating Sustainable Communities: The Social Dimension, is an
exciting training session for those who want to learn how to start or
improve their own communities, whether in urban neighborhoods, your
school or workplace,  housing cooperatives or ecovillages.  This July
7-14 workshop will introduce skills for creating shared vision and
values, constructive approaches to conflict, mutual support and
celebration, and sustainable behavior and culture change. For further
details, please see     http://www.ecovillage.ithaca.ny.us/csc2007.pdf

All of our programs include an  immersion in daily life at our
ecovillage as well as empowering tools and resources that you can use
in your world back home. Many people tell us that just visiting for a
few hours has influenced them with a profound sense of hope. Imagine
what a full weekend or a week can do!

Our scholarship program and commuter rates are designed to make these
programs accessible to as many people as possible. Please plan to
register early, as we expect the programs to fill up.

Yours for a sustainable world,
