Olympia has a cool downtown, the best Farmer's Market, proximity to Mountains, Ocean and lots of conscientious, intelligent humans of all ages. It's time to include Olympia EcoVillage to the list of features. We are now having monthly meetings in Olympia. All are equal members. Also see www.WeInviteYou.org for some further info.
VISION STATEMENT BY CONSENSUS OF THE MEMBERS:
Our EcoVillage will be earth-friendly and sustainable while comfortable. We will use innovative technologies---homes built using cob, straw-bale, salvaged lumber and other materials. We commit to alternative, renewable energy sources such as wind, hydro and solar. We will produce our own food using methods that can be sustained a thousand plus years with minimal impact on wildlife--even restoring eco-systems.
We will accomplish this amidst a family of mutually caring members---members who honor and encourage each others' individual dreams and talents, yet, who balance personal fulfillment with enthusiastic support for the economic, spiritual and emotional well-being of all generations within the group. We will uphold principles of equality between all members regardless of race, creed, age, ability, income level, gender, sexual preference or sexual orientation.
Our EcoVillage will interact openly with other communities and share what we are doing through on-site businesses, educational retreats, workshops, library and lectures.
