- Joseph Campbell

Over three days we will journey together, exploring pathways of possibility, inspiration, and community…

Pathways of Possibility

The urge to do something meaningful with your one life is real. But how to begin? First, get plugged into the movement of thousands of organizations, communities and projects making meaningful change around the world. Our NextGEN facilitators are leaders in sustainable community and networking projects. We will directly network you with key opportunities to support your unique life journey.

The secret of lifestyle design is finding paths that meet your own needs while positively influencing the communities you touch. We will offer group and one-to-one mentoring sessions both before and after the event to support you in creating the life you want.

Pathways of Inspiration

Ecovillage Pathways is hosted at Sirius Community, a 35+ year old impact center near Amherst, MA. This hand-crafted village is nestled amongst forest and permaculture gardens. The community deeply values connection with nature, as well as the nature of the self. Enjoy your time living in the inspiring setting of Sirius Community!

During our time together we will live and dine with residents of Sirius, even volunteering during the community work party on Saturday. Bring clothes to get dirty in and get ready to learn new skills! If you have never experienced intentional community living, consider this one of the finest introductions.

Pathways of Community

A key focus of this event will be in deepening connection with fellow participants. The event size is limited to 40 attendees in order to create a strong container for group cohesion and personal transformation.

Ecovillage Pathways is produced by NextGEN, an organization supporting young people within the Global Ecovillage Network. All of our facilitators have been trained in Ecovillage Design Education, and teach workshops on a variety of topics related to conscious living and activism. Check out of full bios here. We are looking to expand our organization, so Ecovillage Pathways is the perfect event for you to attend if you are interested in learning more about our work and opportunities to join.
