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."

Ecovillages Newsletter
"The Ecovillages Newsletter is a free, bimonthly newsletter in order to encourage and inspire ecovillage projects with news about what ecovillages are doing worldwide.
People seem to love photos and stories about how others are succeeding in good work. Ecovillages will bring you stories about successful projects in every issue, and practical, how-to information, too."
