Creating a Life Together: Practical Tools to Grow Ecovillages and Intentional Communities is a unique guide to launching and sustaining successful communities--and avoiding the typical mistakes in the process. Distilling the wisdom from dozens of successful community projects, it outlines what works, what doesn't work, and how not to reinvent the wheel. It provides step-by-step, practical advice on everything from the role of founders to vision documents, decision-making, agreements, legal options, buying and financing land, sustainable site design, and communication, group process, and dealing well with conflict. Along with community profiles, cautionary tales, and ample resources for learning more, Creating a Life Together is the most up-to-date resource available on making your community dream come true.

| New: Lakeside Castle Community in Europe |
|
On the Swiss shores of Lake Constance, known as Europe´s heart chakra, an ambitious intentional community vision is unfolding. A core team of 15 professionals including architects, business people, artists, healers and educators, discovered a beautiful lakeside castle estate and decided it was the ideal venue for a model co-housing, alternative living and learning center.
The project integrates guest and conference facilities, gourmet vegetarian meals, wellness center, alternative school, lakeshore access, hiking trails, bio-dynamic agriculture, art workshops and more.
Co-ownership via shares is offered until mid October 2003.
Details follow in the project description below:
The Castle Glarisegg project
A center for consciousness and personal development is coming into being at Castle
Glarisegg. There are five areas: community, seminar-center, art-laboratory, school
and alternative therapy which are linked together into an organic whole.
Community
In a time of fundamental social change and a global shift in consciousness a group of
people has joined together who want to bring living, work and personal growth into
harmony. The vision is a “place of unity”.
The still growing and developing community consists of people with many different
professional backgrounds like art, therapy, pedagogy, theology, craft, agriculture,
computer-science, architecture and much more. The community wants to create a
space where a new way of living can be explored and created. The basic intention is
for each person to take his/her own responsibility in life, to care for each other and
our planet and to live together in a way that is individually fulfilling, joyous, meaningful
and healing. Awareness and caring as well as a practice of regular communication in
the circle are fundamental to the everyday life of the community.
Seminar-center
The seminar-center is planned to be a holistic teaching and learning center. Both,
national and international well-known teachers will offer workshops in the following
fields: personal development, consciousness-work, spirituality, movement, music, art,
alternative medicine and new technologies. The wide variety offered supports people
to find and walk their own path.
The seminar-center will be catered by our first class vegetarian restaurant.
In the “culture café” one can enjoy not only culinary but also cultural delicacies like
lectures, singing- and concert-evenings.
Alternative Therapies
The main focus in all the different therapies is the persons own healing potential.
The offer contains various body-therapies, art-therapy and psychotherapy which can
be combined according to individual needs.
The wellness area with sauna and hot-tubs ideally supports the therapeutic work.
Medicinal herbs are being cultivated in our own garden and are processed into
natural remedies.
Art-laboratory
The art-laboratory gives artists of all different fields like dance, theatre, music,
painting, sculpture, performance, etc. the space to produce, perform, exhibit and
explore. Interdisciplinary projects are especially supported. Ateliers and studios are
available for school and seminar-center and offer the participants the means and
guidance to find their own creative impulses and expression.
School
The model of an interactive school for children with learning difficulties as well as
highly intelligent children is in preparation. In the center of attention is the individual
being of the child. In a climate of caring and cooperation learning-methods are
applied that support the child’s natural drive to learn. The children are encouraged to
find and follow their own interests. Castle Glarisegg with its studios, ateliers, kitchen,
garden and agriculture offers great opportunities for experiencing and experimenting
in an active community environment.
Connecting elements
Celebrations, meditations and rituals are connecting elements. Dance-parties, musicevents,
circles, nature-rituals, seasonal celebrations, campfires and beach-parties
are happening regularly.
In the castle-shop material related to the seminars, books, magazines, postcards and
handicraft-objects are being sold.
The place
The landscape around the castle with its own beach at Lake Constance, forest,
waterfall and springs is a fertile ground for the vision to grow.
Castle Glarisegg is well-situated between the two little villages Steckborn (CH) and
Mammern (CH) right at the side of Lake Constance. The location with its access to
the lake and forest in the back is unique. The place is easily accessible via train
(station Steckborn) and car (big parking-lot). There is also a very good trafficconnection
to Zurich airport (45 min.)
Apart from the castle, the property contains several buildings; among others a big
schoolhouse, a seminar- and culture-center, a guest house and a sports-hall. The
property has also fields, forest, a stream, its own beach with a boathouse and a
tennis-court.
The total area of the property is 52.725 square meters.
The project in the media
The project has already found a big resonance in the press and television. In June more than 24 magazines will write articles about us. 1.100.000 people will be reached through our publicity-campaign until August 2003.
