Living Routes

"Living Routes' mission is to create opportunities to live and learn within human-scale communities that are consciously striving to live well and lightly.
By offering positive visions and "stories" for humanity and the planet, ecovillages offer ideal "campuses" for students to explore possible futures, both in the world and in their own lives.
Living Routes programs challenge you to grow on academic, professional and personal levels.
Students and faculty together create a learning community within the living community of the Ecovillage or indigenous community."
