Dearest Global Community,
As a favorite tool for supporting transformation, we will start this December newsletter with gratitude.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for supporting the transition to regenerative life on earth, whether that be with your hands, your heart, your mind, or your spirit.
We write to you in reverence for the deep work we have collectively managed this year. To all of you who helped bring the work of ecovillages into the hearts of others, thank you. To the network-wide strategy team who embraced our shadows, as a catalyst for change cogged in a capitalistic system, thank you for the healing you have stewarded. To all of those who supported the continuation of GEN's core work (like this newsletter!) by contributing to Weaving the Way, thank you for your trust. To the countless volunteers who brighten the beacon of hope that is the Global Ecovillage Network, you are the change.
“Gratitude can transform any situation. It alters your vibration, moving you from negative energy to positive. It’s the quickest, easiest, most powerful way to effect change in your life — this I know for sure.” — Oprah Winfrey

We so appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with and support our ecovillage members through projects and know there are many more opportunities to get to know other members. We're excited to explore ideas for offering new services for ecovillages, both emerging and established. This could be through collective masterminds, feedback loop sessions, expert training, and resource exchange.
⭐ Sign up here to share what could be valuable to you and to be notified when we're ready to launch.
