Olympia Eco-Village

Olympia, Washington,

United States

(site selection in progress)

Olympia is beautiful. It's surrounded by more beauty and inhabited by beautiful eco-minded People. How about an ecovillage with organic permaculture methods, eco-friendly homes (minus the 30-year mortgages) and true community? The Society for Effortless Living is a free association of members with two common and vital explorations: to know and live our true essence-being and to co-create a true ecovillage based on organic permaculture principles in Olympia, Washington.

Meetings are monthly and anyone who shares the above path will be welcome as an instant and equal member of the society.
