Cloughjordan Ecovillage Hosting Two Ecolearn Events in October

Community Living

Cloughjordan Ecolearn hosts ‘Community Living’, on Saturday 3rd October, 11am-5pm in Cloughjordan Ecovillage Resilience Centre. We offer a day of learning on the theme of community, not just as a place to live, but also as a source of our well being, an enabler of resilience in the face of climate change and an essential element of the transition to a low carbon society. Peadar Kirby and Davie Philip host a discussion on creating a more community-based way to live and awakening the power of relationships to create a strong sense of neighborliness and belonging. Over the day we will visit to some of the houses in the Ecovillage and meet many of the residents of this ecological neighborhood.

Explore the Possibilities: Buying, Building & Living in Cloughjordan Ecovillage

Cloughjordan Ecolearn hosts ‘Explore the Possibilities: Buying, Building & Living in Cloughjordan Ecovillage Resilience Centre on Bank Holiday Saturday 24th October 11am-5pm.  This is a special event designed for all the people who are considering a refocus of their life goals and a shift to living on a more sustainable basis. The varied programme offers an overview and guided tour of the Ecovillage, specially arranged access to residents’ homes that illustrate some of the features of the modern eco house and informative sessions on build options and build process. The aim is to ensure that participants will leave with useful takeaways and be better informed about what is involved in buying, building and living in this multi-award winning community. This event will be helpful for individuals on the cusp of lifestyle change who are looking to ‘rightsize’ their lives and want to live in a supportive community that shares their values. If this sounds familiar, then step on the path less traveled and explore the possibilities that Cloughjordan Ecovillage has to offer.
