The Experience
A Natural Building like ours is a powerful experience for those who have never had the chance to visit one. It has the visitor become quiet to feel the space. Its soft shapes, plenty of daylight, relief sculpture, and a heated floor invite the visitor to linger and relax for a while. As the Ecovillage continues to expand its capacity, we are now looking for building helpers to join in the ongoing creation!

I'm extremely grateful for this experience to learn and grow as an individual and community member of OUR the eco village. Coming with an open mind I found my time here to be an eye-opening opportunity to practice a multitude of different skills to live more sustainably in unison with the land and people, not just related to the position I applied for. Even after my short month here I'm still reflecting on new aspects I want to implement in my life and looking forward to returning again in the future!

I've learnt about myself, the land and history. It's been an amazing time at the eco village and I'm sad to have to leave before winter. I'd recommend this place to anyone. Even in only 4 weeks I feel like this place has impacted me in a great way and I'm very grateful for that. I've met many lovely and interesting people here. It's a great place for meeting locals and you end up feeling at home pretty fast ❤️ Thanks to everyone at the eco village for such a beautiful time Fred

So grateful to you Fred for all the many many ways in which you impacted us here at OUR Ecovillage! You have put your hand to so very many aspects of the farm, whether working on your own or in a group and you bring such heart and thoughtfulness to each task. We could not have done so many things without you and remain forever grateful. Hopig one day you make it back around for another visit one day into the future.....you will be so missed in the meantime.

Being in OUR the eco village has been one the most wonderful experiences in my life. I had the opportunity to stay in such a beautiful place, learning about, planting, harvesting, permaculture and animals care. It has exceeded my expectations, because it is much more than that. it's a place to have positive interconnections with people all around the globe, to learn, help and share, to built a long term community. Thank you so much and all my love to all of the people I could be participating in OUR the eco village. I am very grateful to Brandy, Trent and Freya for let me be there.

This experience changed my life. I connected deeply with myself and discovered my true essence. I learned a lot, including permaculture ✨ Great infrastructure, comfortable dorms, and good food. The surrounding nature is incredible. I stayed there +- 4 months. It's more about community and caring for each other than just working working hours. Everyone cooks for everyone, and the place becomes your home. Brandy, Trent, and Freya are beautiful people with kind hearts. Thank you, Brandy, for the opportunity and for working hard to make the workd a better place for everyone.💕

I had an amazing experience at OUR the eco village. It is a place full of kindness and humility. Come here to learn about the place and share your skills. They help you to use them. You learn to live differently, to adopt a new philosophy, while developing various skills. There are many beautiful places around. Baldy Mountain at sunset is one of my favorite views. This experience was good for me. I met great friends. Thank you to Brandy, Trent, and Tlithl'kawi.
