OUR Ecovillage is a unique community in the beautiful Cowichan Valley of Vancouver Island. It's focus is to demonstrate natural building techniques, to introduce people to permaculture thinking and farming techniques. To minimize our human footprint on the planet by closing the loop on waste through reusing, reclaiming, repurposing and salvaging most of the building materials we use and by being aware that there is no such thing as "away"! Where does stuff go when we throw it "away"?Our next focus is individual health and wellbeing. Keeping our bodies healthy by growing our own food, trying to live a healthy lifestyle being in the fresh air, being active and learning to live in community with each other as we share the responsibility of keeping the planet healthy. It is my intention to help create a reputation for yoga within the community and to spread the word to our community at large.
