Will there be an opportunity for an immersive experience in an ecovillage?

Ideally, yes.

Depending on the COVID regulations (for international travel as well as within the communities) we hope to open up immersive weeks for all online EDE participants in Damanhur, Italy and Inkiri Piracanga in Brazil. We are in conversation for these to be available in August 2021, though it is not yet confirmed.

There *may* be opportunities for other ecovillages in other regions and you can enquire depending on your location, again, with dates pending.

There will be additional costs for food and accommodation which will go directly to the hosting community.

These are not necessary for the EDE certificate, though if you are able to participate, of course they help to deeply enhance the learning experience. We can also warmly recommend other communities for you to visit and deepen your learning when travel opens up again. This is part of lifelong learning so whenever the opportunity arises will be the ‘right’ time.
