Subject: Living Routes Programs- Please Broadcast!
Hello Friends and Colleagues! I am writing to let you know about
upcoming programs offered through LIVING ROUTES - ECOVILLAGE
EDUCATION CONSORTIUM.
Living Routes' mission is to develop and support accredited
educational programs that empower participants to help build a
sustainable future. All programs are based in intentional communities
striving to model sustainable living (also known as "ecovillages").
We are working closely with the Global Ecovillage Network
(www.gaia.org), the Fellowship for Intentional Community (www.ic.org)
and a growing consortium of ecovillages, colleges, and universities
to create these globally connected yet regionally developed programs.
Come help us bring education to life!

The Geo Communities Semester, formerly known as Geocommons Col-

and mindful living. After forming a "Learning Community" in New
Hampshire, students and faculty spend ten days at Plum Village,
Thich Nhat Hanh's Buddhist monastery in southwest France; two
months in southern India at Auroville, an Ecovillage and
spiritual community of 1500 people; and ten days at Mitraniketan,
a Gandhian community promoting village renewal. Re-entry to
North America occurs at the Sirius Community in Massachusetts

Studying sustainable living practices, students come face to
face with issues of world population, globalization, and habitat
destruction as well as experience the joys of intercultural
exchange, biological restoration, and mindfulness training.
