\"ecovillage<\/p>\n

I’ve worked with Zachary Shahan in various capacities for nearly two years, and knew he had some interesting life experiences, but it wasn’t until I read his guest post<\/a> for the blogathon at Planetsave<\/a> that I knew he had lived in an ecovillage: EcoVillage at Ithaca<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While you might expect some overlap with Rachel Katz’s post<\/a>, Zach’s perspective is quite unique (as is Rachel’s). For some, I’m guessing his observation that ecovillage living is “modern” may come as somewhat of a surprise, though I can confirm that from my own limited experience (hey, I’m writing on a laptop with a wireless connection from an ecovillage… right now). Go check out what he’s written…<\/p>\n

We’d love to hear other stories from ecovillages. If you’ve lived at one, or spent a good amount of time at one, let us know about it. What are your observations?<\/p>\n

We’d like to thank Appalachian Outdoors, sellers of Life is Good<\/a> and Green Label Organic<\/a> clothing brands, for their pledged donation to Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage<\/a>.
