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.

You changed OUR world Kevin! It was a privilege to work and live with you and to learn with you as we all shared so much. You truly are a gift to anybody you spend time with and your kindness to each of us has been deeply felt in the hearts of all. Thank you for all the technical skills you brought - and all the more for the care you brought to everyone at OUR Ecovillage!

Choosing to live at OUR Ecovilage means becoming a part of a community that has evolved over the past 25 years and integrating yourself into all systems. My experience here has been filled with not only wonderful relationships but significant learning about how i want to live in this lifetime. I came here originally because I wanted to learn about farm to table cooking but but I have learned so much more about Gardening, Animals, hospitality, living in community and myself then I ever thought possible. Than you everyone I met here you have truly become family

You are indeed a wonderful young woman Elsie! Your choice to grow and transform has made you such an important part of a 'Regenerative Living' immersed learning environment. You are living your learning - and have become a joy in the kitchen, so responsible for organizing, and demonstrating leadership on a whole new level! You are an inspirational force....

You brought fun, inspiration for dance/music/play, & some amazing determination Eugenia. Your intention in the kitchen, gardens, hospitality, & with the animals....all was done with care and confidence. You show the ability to work independently & full out on a team! Though the work day is only 5 hrs x 5 days week...it was so appreciated that you crafted beautiful meals / cleaning for each other in the team in addition. Grateful for all you put your hand to & hope you will find your way back.

My time at the eco village was amazing, it's a beautiful place with sacred energy. Everyone here is unique and has a story. I worked mainly in the kitchen, cooking in advance for the arrival of big visiting groups and also alongside other volunteers. For me personally, it wasn't about the hours worked, it was about achieving goals daily. I wished I had spent more time here and hope to be back one day!

Thank you for everything, i'll be back! Hych'ka!

I had a fantastic stay at OUR the eco village. Brandy, Trent, and their daughter Freya, passionate volunteers themselves, showed me how a project can thrive for decades through constant innovation. Their enthusiasm inspired me to embrace this lifestyle and learn a lot about sustainability. The community is incredible, the nature breathtaking and the animals adorable (I especially loved the dogs), and the beautifully crafted buildings add to the charm. The people here have big hearts and an even greater sense of community —you'll probably want to stay longer than planned, trust me ;) Thank you :)

I was incredibly disappointed with my experience here. I had no interest in continuing after 3 days and left and found another placement. Very few people made an effort to welcome me in. I felt incredibly lonely when I got there. Many extra mandatory meetings and event set up that doesn't count for your hours. My first work day started at 9am and finished at 8pm. Was thrown into things with next to no guidance and with people who had no idea what they were doing. My tent I was to stay in was infested with insects upon arrival and took me hours to clean out when I got there. I could go on.

So saddened that you chose to see your experience this way Jylisa. As you might note we have feedback from most others that we changed, healed, and held the lives of dozens of people per month. This may not have been your experience - but no need to cause harm or shame and publicly prejudice a space and thus impact others who actually love and care for each other - and state: "this is the the most important thing I have done in my life" (as said in Circle tonight). We wish you healing -

My experience here was amazing, an experience that made me to grow as a person. I'm really happy to have discovered this place. I learned a lot about sustainable development, permaculture and community. Also, the people that I met here was amazing, people that are trying to build a different world, something that gaves me hope about the future! Finally I must thanks to Brandy and her family for open their home with me and the rest of the volunteers, your are a beautiful family, I wish you the best!

Wow Joaquin....you are very missed and really have left a big space here without your big heart and funny humour! I hope you find 'restorative justice' along your path - and that your path leads you back to OUR Ecovillage for a visit one day again to see what we have gotten up to!! Be well dear friend ~
