with

Crystal Waters Permaculture Village, Australia

Ecovillage Design is a new and innovative field of design that is emerging 
to address our current environmental and social crises 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 a UN World Habitat Award) are visiting the United States to teach this 
summer and will be presenting a one-day Ecovillage Design workshop at the 
Community Environment Centre on Saturday 28 July..

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
·       Ecovillage design considerations
·       Design for sustainable land management
·       Infrastructure development for ecological settlements
·       Healthy houses and low impact buildings
·       Ecological waste management strategies
·       Developing a sense of community belonging
·       Community Structures
·       Right livelihood and strengthening the local economy
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 Permaculture EcoVillage 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 US

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, Sustainable Futures, 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 three years.
