Earthrise Garden Village

Virtual Topics for Thought for your imaginary village:

First, please go through this exercise and then write us about it in our blog.

I would like for you to close your eyes and imagine a sustainable, self-sufficient and energy conserving residential area in a village and tell me what you see, hear and feel.  This could include happiness, freedom, safety, ert.  It could also include what is painful.  Example: Less maintenance, little or no pollution, no pesticides, or safe for pets and so forth.

As you do this, consider a unique, wonderful place where you dream of living and where you enjoy being yourself.

You are walking and looking and learning.
What do you see…hear…feel or smell?

After you’ve done this to your satisfaction and you were able to reach deep into your self, begin writing your thoughts and e-mail them to us.
