Spring greetings from GEN Europe

Dear friends,

The Equinox has passed and the rise of spring in the Northern Hemisphere is with us. We can already feel its uplifting energy blooming in our communities! Patience is the key in this very moment, so we set our intentions to stay present and aware of the changes happening in our surroundings. Yet we are are also inviting you to celebrate the Earth's capacity to continuously change - but to always stay the same.

So just as we observe fruit trees blossoming and announcing new beginnings once again, we are also celebrating some new beginnings in GEN Europe. 

In recent months we welcomed some new faces in our family!

This spring we also welcomed our new ESC volunteers who will support the work of GEN Europe!

Discover the infinite possibilities of Community.  Join us in Ängsbacka 20-25 of August 2024 for an ecovillage experience like no other!

Early Bird tickets available until 31st of March.

(The tiers apply independent of the kind of membership you hold. Book early for a reduced price!)

Global Ecovillage Network co-founder Ross Jackson has released his new book, The Bad News & The Good News. A great start for a network book club, don't you think?

Have you been dreaming of an idea or a project that is based on environmental sustainability, community and non-hierarchic win-win-win values for all involved? The founder of Dragon Dreaming, John Croft is offering a Dragon Dreaming process in Estonia, from 3-6 October 2024! The process is starting with registration, going through the first Dreaming circle and following with the personal work with John Croft and Toomas Trapido.

We are thrilled to share a sneak peek of the “Future Roots Gathering” – an inspiring event in the making to unfold in Damanhur, Italy, in October 2024.

This unique event, a collaborative effort between NextGEN Europe (the youth European branch of the Global Ecovillage Network) and YTS (Yes To Sustainability), aims to bring together a variety of people with minds passionate about sustainable living and community-driven solutions, with a special focus on youth and future. 

To make this gathering possible we will need the support of the network so if you or your community would like to invest in this event you can make a donation to GEN Europe account by clicking the button below and writing “Future Roots”.
