Once you determine what you want, what are the criteria to explore whether an ecovillage is a good fit/match for you? (www.EcovillageNews.org).

Bob Banner, publisher of Hopedance magazine, shares insights from Andrew Harvey’s Sacred Activism workshop: “What breaks your heart, what you really love, is the thing that will sustain you. That’s what you ought to be doing.” For Bob, it’s using media to bring together the political with the spiritual; the environmental and business. (www.hopedance.org).
