Whole systems design for co-creating villages
From over two decades of academic research and lived experience of intentional communities by Dr Jason Hilder it became clear that resident led villages are most successful when following a guided process.
That led to the 12 step process based upon regenerative, whole systems design.
This process is replicable to any location or group and forms the basis for village development projects listed below.
Current initiatives
Riverina agrihood
Cooperative, regenerative food growing adjacent to a cohousing development around the Albury Wodonga area.
The intention is to use permaculture methods to grow local, feed local, sell local, care for local nature, support local and connect local.
Past initiatives
