July Open Weekend (Scroll down for individual session details) @ Narara Ecovillage

Are you interested in Narara Ecovillage or perhaps already considering living here?  Make a weekend of it, with a variety of accomodation options for Friday and/or Saturday evenings – CLICK HERE to see options – or drop in on Saturday or Sunday – or both days.

Children are a vital part of our intergenerational community, and you are welcome to bring your children to the Open Weekend. Kids under age 5s attend for free.

When you book, we will ask about your kids so that we can arrange some suitable play dates or activities with other families over the weekend.

The Ecovillage is heaven for kids, and once they make friends here, you may not see too much of them!

The quarterly Open Weekend of activities give you a more in depth opportunity to engage with the village and its members.  On Friday we start with ‘A Taste of Sociocracy’ with wine and cheese, from 7-9pm.

Saturday, there are several options prior to the Open Day Talk & Tour at 10, and we have a choice of workshops in the afternoon: A Focaccia making session alongside Foraging for Wild Vegetables, followed by a ‘Fun on the Street’ innovative introduction to our ‘Journey to Joining’, and a shared dinner, and the option of a film in our Village Hall to end the evening.

On Sunday we start with a session unpacking the origins and development of Sociocracy, ‘Roots and Shoots’, and in the afternoon Tanya will be running the Collaboration Game.

The weekend is designed to introduce you to what Narara Ecovillage is all about, and how we are putting our ideas around ecological, social and economic potential into action:

* shared food growing, natural retreats and Permaculture spaces
* shared community and workplaces
* surrounded by examples of highly efficient low-carbon homes already occupied in ‘Northside’ and being built now in the second, ‘Southside’ stage.
