An Eco Village Voice podcast with Claire Ogden & Andrew McLean, hosted by Nicole Hartley Bradford of "Awakening the Village" in Canada. This is a 28 minute preview of the complete 80 minute podcast where we explore Eco Villages Australia and celebrate the first anniversary of the establishing of Maleny Ecovillage.

Eco Villages Australia is a non-profit organisation that provides the legal and financial model to create co-housing eco communities for small groups of people (5-25). In these communities, residents work co-operatively, make decisions, and take control of their own energy, water and food as they work towards ecological sustainability, social prosperity and economic viability. The first co-housing ecovillage site was purchased in March 2019 located in Maleny, Queensland. It is a 3.4 acre property with lots of mature trees, a lovely dam, some old sheds and a ramshackle cottage. One year on, we talk to Claire and Andrew about how their ecovillage is developing.

Eco Village Voice is an online community featuring a quarterly magazine and exclusive videos, podcasts and webinars with special guests. Eco Village Voice provides educational material on ecovillage living, as well as encouraging communication between other ecovillages and intentional communities to help each other and for the sake of our planet’s wellbeing. We celebrate regenerative and permaculture ethics – care for land, care for people and fair share.

Members of Eco Village Voice have access the full recording – basic members ($6 per month or $60 per year) have the audio only. Premium members ($12 per month or $120 per year) can access the complete video, and audio plus extras with videos and PDFs, including a replacement Chapter 6 of Diana Leafe Christian's legendary book "Creating a Life Together".
