Living in an intentional community, ecovillage or co-housing project are all considered to be ways of rebuilding a sense of family in our lives, like rebuilding an extended family. A lot of people in cultures based on mechanistic, separatist and consumptive ideas have lost their sense of 'Home' and 'Community' this is one of the many divides needing restoration today. GAIA Education and the Ecovillage Network support the growth of local resilience through building new community models.
