What we do

Ecovillage White Carpathians (Vrbovce) is research experimental project founded spontaneously in 2010 by Petr Skořepa. The Project Ecovillage White Carpathians is located at the border of Slovakia and Czechia and is divided to Ecomuseum and Ecovillage which are about 5 km away from each other. Ecovillage Vrbovce aims at restoring traditional crafts and shows possibilities of more free lifestyle without installments, banks, mortgages and electricity bills.
The idea is that everyone deserves free living without dependences. Here you could have opportunity to see healthy independent buildings built from 5 000€ to 20 000€ of which some are self-suffiencient, with own clean and warm water, electricity and with use of modern technologies which makes work easier – all with respect to the environment. White Carpathians is focused on sustainability and evolution of villages. Besides, you can find here:

  • Cheap natural houses built with an effective approach from straw, clay, wood, hemp, reed, wool…with a long life evolution (Jurta, Sauna,…)
  • School and Workshops of Natural Architecture
  • Ecomuseum of crafts with shop where you can find homemade bio-sustainable products made through workshops or created by locals or experts
  • Workshops led by the experienced founder Petr Skořepa – in Ecovillage, Prague or Bratislava (in Czech or Slovak) where you can learn more about Rising-house, Bio architecture, Sustainable cities and flats, Self-suffiencient mobile house, transformation old windows to insulating windows or triple glass-windows, use of wastewater for toilet, clay plaster for 80 years, Composting toilets…
  • Volunteers working in Ecovillage thanks to Erasmus+, The European Union, European Voluntary Service and Iuventa, led by supervisor Petr Skořepa

Slavonic tradition (clothes, crafts, rituals) and spirituality have a place here too but most of time is devoted to practical work and life, courses and spreading vision: The path of self-sufficiency and sustainable future.

Healing Love Healing Money: Trust As The Foundation For A New Culture

Money, love and power are among the hardest things any community works with, and many of us carry the same fears into both: not having enough, losing what we have, and the sense that if someone else gets money or love, we won’t. Healing Love, Healing Money: Trust as the Foundation for a New Culture is taught by two intentional communities. Karen McAllister and Duncan Cryle are from Clear Sky Meditation and Retreat Center, a Buddhist-lineage community in the BC Rockies. Monika Alleweldt and Benjamin von Mendelssohn from Tamera Healing Biotope, a community of about 160 people in southern Portugal that has spent decades studying love, trust and relationship. Clear Sky has spent years working on its relationship with money, and our two communities found surprising parallels in the fears beneath both. Over four sessions we explore the roots of fear around money and belonging, love, possession and power, trust as infrastructure (community as a container for healing), and ethical livelihood. We use short meditations, body-based practices, reflection and small-group conversation. You do not need to be in a romantic relationship or live in community. When: October 27, Nov 3, 10, 17. All four sessions: 12–2pm Vancouver, 1–3pm Alberta, 7–9pm UK and Portugal, 8–10pm Central Europe. Note: US and some Canadian provinces change clocks on November 1, so the US west coast is 12–2pm on October 27, then 11am–1pm for the remaining sessions, and Eastern is 3–5pm on October 27, then 2–4pm for the rest. Cost: sliding scale Details and registration: https://www.clearskycenter.org/event/healing-love-healing-money-online/
