Ecovillage Design is a new and innovative field of design that is emerging 
to address our current environmental and social crisis in a holistic, 
integrated and positive way, providing sustainable and long-term solutions.

International ecological design teachers and consultants, Morag Gamble and 
Evan Raymond, from Crystal Waters Permaculture Village, Australia (winner 
of 1995 UN World Habitat Award) and Larry Santoyo, permaculture teacher and 
designer of Earthflow Design Works, will be presenting a two-day Ecovillage 
Design workshop in Santa Barbara on Saturday & Sunday, Jan 18 & 19,  9am-5pm.

This workshop provides an opportunity to explore the integrated approach of 
planning and designing ecologically sustainable human settlements and 
presents an overview of the design principles used in successful projects 
around the world.

Ecovillages are designed with ecology in mind and encourage people who live 
in and visit them to develop an understanding of the interconnectedness of 
the natural world- to create beneficial relationships between the 
ecological, social, economic and spiritual aspects of their lives.  The aim 
is to engage people fully  with their head, heart and hands.

Many aspects of ecovillages will be explored during this workshop including:
·       What is an ecovillage and what forms do they take
·       Discussion of the Global Ecovillage Network
·       How do you form an Ecovillage
·       Permaculture Design Techniques
·       Healthy non toxic houses and low impact buildings
·       Ecological infrastructure & waste management strategies
·       Developing a sense of community belonging
·       How to encourage developers, bank lenders, city and 
county      planners and make them aware of growing public support
·       Explore new Microvillage Network concept

The workshop will include images and case studies of international 
ecovillages, demonstrating the diversity of ways in which ecovillage design 
principles can be applied to meet the needs of local communities and 
environments.

CRYSTAL WATERS PERMACULTURE VILLAGE, AUSTRALIA

Crystal Waters Village is a leading-edge centre for sustainable design and 
ecological education.  This village, established in 1989, is home to 200 
permanent residents and abundant wildlife.  It is one of the first villages 
in the world designed using the principles of Permaculture and offers 
guidance for the future planning and design of sustainable human 
settlements - a key strategy for addressing the interconnected problems we 
face in every part of the world today.

Crystal Waters received the United Nations World Habitat Award in 1995 for 
its “pioneering ways in demonstrating new low impact and sustainable ways 
of living” and has been listed in the top 40 of the UN Best Practices database.

International ecological design teachers and consultants, Morag Gamble and 
Evan Raymond, will outline the reasons for its success and describe the 
features that make Crystal Waters an ‘ecovillage’.

ABOUT  THEM

Morag and Evan have been living at Crystal Waters for the past three years 
(although their connection to this place extends far beyond that). Prior to 
moving to this rural village, they worked in urban areas developing city 
farms, a National Network of community gardens and other urban 
community-based sustainability projects.

They are two of the key environmental and community educators from Crystal 
Waters  offering programs for all ages and nationalities, and recently 
co-founded the Crystal Waters College.   The extensive research they have 
undertaken within the community for a book about the lives and work of 
people at Crystal Waters enables them to share with you many of the 
fascinating personal stories and insights of life in an ecovillage.  They 
are directors of an ecological design firm SEED, and work in partnership 
with the Global Ecovillage Network Oceania/Asia Inc.  Morag has also been a 
Director of the Crystal Waters Co-operative for five years.

Larry Santoyo is an internationally recognized land use planner and Green 
Business Consultant .  He has taught courses at UC Berkeley and CalPoly/San 
Luis Obispo. He has twenty years experience in resource protection and 
natural systems management . He works with his wife Kathryn Santoyo in 
their consulting business, Earthflow Design Works,
in Los Osos CA.
