Ecovillage Brazil – on the Path to the Sustainability of Being

Ilana, a Gaia Education Design for Sustainability graduate from Rio de Janeiro 2014, presents the film:

“We visited 10 ecovillages in Brazil to investigate the values informing the development of these laboratories of sustainable living. One of the lines of enquiry was how ecovillages can contribute to the paradigm shift of our civilizational model. Our film addresses a vision of integral sustainability, in its economic, ecological, social and worldview dimensions. Topics explored included permaculture, forms of governance, decision making, leadership, shared economy and conflict resolution.”

The documentary reveals aspects of community life, through testimonies of practitioners. You can enjoy the whole movie for free here:
