to EcoVillage Sieben Linden

This is the highlight of my trip... after two weeks in Europe, and one very intense Winter School at the Austrian University of Applied Sciences (FHS), I am looking forward to shifting to a more holistic + centered community of Sieben Linden in northeastern Germany.

I hope to have a deeper understanding and connection with this community which is a bit different from Twin Oaks.  They have a definitive facility, energy + infrastructure program (my specialty) that focuses on long-term stability, and I enjoy discussing various aspects of grid connections, biomass gasification ++  

Last year when I left Sieben Linden after 8 days, the whole outside world felt cold, stressed and hostile.  It feels a little bit like this now - and more so, as my heart is already starting to embrace the serene-ness and comfortable togetherness that Sieben Linden has for me.  This year I went thru Salzwedel - the castle here was first mentioned somewhere around 1200 - and a 10km walk this morning found me in the old city and the castle ruins.... too many cars for me, but the quaintness of the tight old buildings of a bygone era... wonderful!

Here you will find some information and how a couple hundred people have figured out how to live together without raising their voices and in taking care of each other:  Three types of meetings at Sieben Linden...

This overview and weeklong intensive seminar is a prerequisite for another 2 week seminar which is the prerequisite for beginning a potential trial period of living at the ecoVillage.
