7 years of living in an eco village
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 мар 2022
- I have been living in an eco village for 7 years. In this video I share with you 4 things that I didn't expected before moving to an Intentional Community. A couple of years ago I went on a journey to find eco villages and sustainable communities and ended up moving to Damanhur Spiritual Eco community, and I realised that there were a lot of myths about living in an intentional community that I wish I had known before my trip. This video is for people who are interested in intentional living, eco villages and are curious about what to expect before visiting or joining an intentional eco community. I highly recommend that you watch this video and do your own research about global eco villages before planning your visit or stay at one.

LIFE is better In village than city
great video
Very cool video. I am a 35 year old man who had a little experience of living in a community in my country (Brazil). The main challenge in my opinion can be the daily human coexistence and also to always keep yourself motivated in individual and group activities. It's certainly not for everyone. What caught my attention in the video was the connection with art. I love it, I don't do it myself but I contemplate a lot, mainly painting, sculpture, architecture, specially asian, specifically from the Himalayas, from the South and Southeast of the continent. It would be really cool if one day you could offer retreats on Buddhist Thangka paintings for instance or lectures on Hindu and Buddhist sculptures in materials such as stone, metals, butter. Here's a suggestion. Are you close to alpine mountains? Is it possible to go hiking, trekking in the region? Wildlife observation? I've also been practicing Yoga lately, do you offer retreats on this practice and meditation in general? Thank you for the video
i want something like this too!
I am beginning the journey of creating a community in the wilderness of New Mexico USA. 1,000 acres, 400 hectares. I too believed food production was top on the list. Looking for experienced growers. Your video was very informative.
Thank you so much! Sounds great that you're creating a new community in New Mexico, sounds like it has a lot of potentials. If there are specific topics that you're interested in I'll keep it in mind for coming videos!
Hey Chung!
What’s your community name?

@@LightOfAstrology444 Have not published it but it is Scenic Height NM Eco-Village. I Amon the border of Arizona and New Mexico. Come visit. We are building earth friendly homes. It’s a bird and rescue animal sanctuary.
Too much land, too many people, too many problems. Start small and then go big.
@@pedromiguel9202 Your right. There are lot of problems in creating a community. But we have been out her now 5 years by ourselves solving so many problems we have now. We are headed to 6th extinction on the planet. 95 percent off species are gone. Recently they have found half of insects on earth are gone. We have 20 years to reverse what we humans has done or most of people will face unimaginable fate. We came out here because we know what is coming. I knew this year will be epic fires and record heat waves. Next year even worse. Water in the west is drying out. I’ve been feeding birds at enormous cost to bring them back. Fighting people from killing the last of elk, Deere and other animals here. If you only know why earth is dying. Diversity of herds of animals kept the earth fertile and green. We have wiped out most of them in the last 100 years. So many younger generation is aware and is loosing hope. So sad…
Beautiful ! Great job Celastrina
Thank you! :)
Beautiful! I love Damanhur 😍
Thank you :D
Thinking of going to findforn..so heloful.thank you
I'm happy this was of value for you :)
I would love to know the financial details. How much does it cost to participate in a community like this? How do you sustain yourself?
Heavenly place
😍
You are really shining spirit and I liked the explenation. I remember I wanted to travel and live in those kind of places, but sadly kind of abandoned that dream. I hope to get back to it.
its never too late :)
Brilliant ❤
😍
Your beautiful..
I'm glad to have found your channel, I've been soul searching on this cold day in Denver, Colorado camping in my RV alone with nowhere to be or place my talents or energy. Modern city life seems an exercise in futility.
*you're. Spelling and punctuation are hard.
This is so cool - everyone establishing their own communities. Something I want to do
yes 😍
Celastrina, thank you for the inspiring video, I'm sharing your video because it's filled with hope for change on our beautiful planet, con te Bella
Con te bella! Thank you for your heartwarming words! ❤️
I hope on the comunity in costa rica
Thx a lot for sharing that. Also embarking on this journey. It is an interesting discovery to hammer out what visions people in a community-building group share, or do not and what is truly important to oneself. What is the vision of your community regarding animal husbandry with respect to ethics and ecology? Maybe I will come and visit for inspiration!
Thank you, I'm glad that you find this valuable and inspiring! The question about animals and especially vegetarianism is a question we get a lot from people visiting. I myself am a vegetarian and has been for life, and in the community every person decide for themselves what to eat. The main philosophy however is that it's more important to look at the How and at the What regarding what we eat. So for example we have our own agriculture and also our own meat production, and there the animals are treated with a lot of respect and are recognised as being as valuable as any other living being. The same goes for our plant based food and vegetables, they're also considered living beings to be respected. Another main aspect is that we eat locally produced food connected to the lands on which we live, and eat according to the seasons. You're very welcome to come visit for inspiration :)
After my PHD and my goals to become an agricultural scientist and wanting to figure out sustainable ways to manage diseases that can be completed by anyone thinking about living in a space where I can actively help a community and run experiments outside of the lab whilst running a consulting business separate to it is sort of my ideal set up post it. As anyone can publish papers so long as their data is reliable.
Hi there. ... We are just about to go from UK to Spain .. we are looking for land close to the mountains north of Spain. We want to start new eco village , but a bit more modern style ... with a super FUN land for children ....
I do like your way of describing things ... Its not always as we want it , but we need to learn how to adjust to the new situation ... great story ... hope to see more from You ...
Hello Michal, sounds beautiful! It's so good that more eco villages and intentional communities are created, and that they all have their own specialty and flair :D Sounds great to have the intention for a fun land for children!
Hi,
I am Mihaela from Romania.
Did you start anything in North Spain yet?
Thanks!
Love hearing your story Rebecka! Would you mind if we share your video?
Hello! Thank you, No not at all! 😊🙏🏻
Thanks Rebecka for this informative and well produced video. I'm starting an Eco Village in Colombia, 3 hrs from Medellin in a biodiverse playground surrounded by the lush rain forest, mountains and the most crystalline river of Colombia (Rio Melcocho). I'll be watching more of your content for inspiration and info.
Hello Kenny, I'm happy that you found this content important. It sounds like a really beautiful project! I'm eager to know that more and more people starts to build eco villages! I wish you all the luck with this :)
How can I get to know about your Eco Village?
@@Krishatube go to damanhur.org :)
Im i terested in leaving to.join a comunity
Hi I would be interested to know more about your community in Colombia. My wife is from there I will be visiting communities next year
You are a smart woman. Who is king or queen or x of this ant-hill. Having your own currency means that trade has been surpassed, who owns the bank? Is Damanhur incorporated legally? If so, who's names are in the records? Who reallymanages Damanhur in final decision or say in 'crisis'? Purposefully sharp.
After traveling for 8 years as a digital nomad and loving my digital nomad community, I have been researching settling in an Ecovillageto double down on what is important for me: commitment to a loving community. Living with people who are invested in making their own and each other's lives healthy, enjoyable, engaging, and ever-evolving. All the while nurturing our relationship with mother nature. I found your videos some of the most helpful in my research so I wanted to thank you
I live in a eco community in Costa Rica called Ecovilla. I thought you might like it 🌿
I'm gonna establish an eco village in the near-ish future. Would you or anyone in your online community be interested in talking more? I'm trying to look for like minded people!
@@charleychristie4260Where would this be? I am in the process to start!
Wonderful video, thank you!
Thank you 🙏🏻 😍
It's not good to think in terms of "wanting to change the world". The world will change of it's own accord. It's fine to think in terms of "setting an example" though. If your group is trying to "change the world" then you have a problem. It's called disappointment.
@@Underground-Electronic-Music I too want to start an ecovillage but I have a different approach. I want mine to be health oriented and for the people to already be into natural health. This way we are already on the same page in the most important way. HEALTH. Without natural health, you are done. I've also visited communities. When they are not like-minded, it's trouble! Separating their properties won't do anything. That's the same as it already is in the country anyway. The entire purpose of an ecovillage/intentional community is the cooperation accomplished. If the people are not on the same page together, it simply will not work. Too much trouble!
@@VitalityMassage In England there is the saying called the trajedy of the commons. This is coz there is common land and people would put sheep on it. It is like rented accomodation. Nobody invests into a rental unit other than the landlord if you are lucky. There is huge diversity in the country and the reason there isn't all out war is coz they have seperate properties. If they had to share then there would be real trouble. Being like minded might help but property rights are important to be able to invest into a home. Cooperation might be the intention of some communities but the important question is whether it is your main purpose and whether it is the best way.
Hej Rebecka! Tack så mycket för den här videon! Bor du fortfarande på Damanhur Spiritual Eco community? Jag kommer själv att flytta till en eco community samtidigt som jag fördjupar mig i permaculture t. ex.
Hej! Ja jag bor i Damanhur fortfarande! Vad roligt, jag tror verkligen att community är framtidens samhälle, där vi kommer närmare både jorden och varandra :) Lycka till!

Ive always wanted to go to Damanhur, but ive always struggled with finding a way to get citizenship in Italy. Anyone have any advice?
Hello, it's really interesting to hear you speak, I was wondering what are the community stances on legally disabled and very young/elderly people living with you? Is there a support network and a way for them to contribute to the community? What is also the overall stance on minorities, like immigrants from less appreciated countries and LGBT+ people living among you? Do you allow for respectful people of different religions/no faith to live with you? I guess what I'm asking is, are you a diverse, intersectional community?
Hi Marika, thank you for your comment! These are really relevant questions! I'll try to answer them as well as possible. One of the core values of Damanhur is embracing diversity, I like that because it gives a vision where we can connect through our differences rather than it being something that separates us. So yes we have many exchanges with people from different cultures, indigenous people, people from different belief systems that are very enriching. We also have entire halls in our Temples dedicated to the celebration of the diversity of humanity. Practically, we have people with different sexual orientation living in the community and we also have people (very few though) that are disabled. However, we're still working on making the community more practically available for for example disabled people and there's a lot to improve there. With young people and elderly we have solidarity fonds covering these age groups, maternity and people with economical difficulties, we have a school up to 14 year old and we are currently discussing the various opportunities to care for the elderly. In this moment our elders live with us in the community homes. This is beautiful because of the exchange but at a certain point it becomes challenging for both parts. We are projecting a house for elderly in need of constant care in one of our central spaces so that they're still close and part of the community, but have the care they need.
On the question if we are a intersectional community, I think that we aren't enough in this moment, due to various reasons. One is for sure that people interested in coming to live in the community are often people from western countries, and there are many reasons for this. However there are of course cultural shocks even only in this scenario, but our ideal is that more and more communities can be created around the world where the diversity of each can be shared and we can learn and grow together
Soo....... My dream is that!...
Hello Rebecca, how much money does one need to enter into your community? Are you also thinking of starting your own intentional communitiy? Thanks
Hello! To enter there's no cost but one needs to stay a little to see if they really want to be a part of the community, it's a period of what is called trial citizenship. There are also various levels of participation, and therefor various levels of citizenship. No I'm in love with the vision and dreams of this community, and there's really enough space for my own projects even when being a part of something bigger! :)
@@celastrinarebecka thank you very much Rebecca, are you also a believer in a Creator? I want to understand where comes your motivation to live there and doing all this work. Thanks again
@@i29countrylifestyle88 Hello. Damanhur is a spiritual eco community in that we do believe in a spiritual eco system that is being given many different names in different cultures, but yes I do believe that life has a conscious source that connects us all :)
One question..... i know it might sound irrelevant to these types of people living in peace with everything around themselves.....
What happens when you encounter war?
Genuinely curious if there’s any cult-like behavior
What is name and area of your community?
The name is Damanhur, and the area is Piemonte, Italy. Your can find more information at damanhur.org
It's always funny to see community like this that claim to create a brand new way of living but only rely on exterior input of people working normally
I like to say, be the peace you want to see in the world- be vegan.
Don't tempt me.
In my community, I don't want anyone doing a job outside the community... especially a scummy doctor or lawyer! No, only holistic people will be allowed in Holistic Homesteading. No junk food eaters either. No rednecks. No religious freaks. Nada! Just natural health people. Oh and no monogamy!
So no one but you, eh? That's not a community, it's totalitarianism, which is how many of these experiments have traditionally ended up.
{{{{ TIME HAS RUN OUT !! John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
