Founders' Retreat

Whether you're tossing around the idea of forming a new community, have already purchased land with a plan, or are struggling with new or legacy issues in an existing community, take a seat at our table! Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage was formed as a demonstration project for exploring issues of self-governance, ecologically sustainable living, and generally figuring out how humans can work better together to reduce negative impacts on everything and everyone around us.
Our annual Founders' Retreat is a reflection of that mission by coming together to share our collective experiences and current challenges. Kick off your new year with a stimulating and thought provoking exploratory retreat! (Discount available to additional participants from the same community/group. Custom retreat for your community, with facilitation and note-taking support also available.)
