The Magazine

We uplift voices of the movement

A printed home for the stories and tools emerging from ecovillages and intentional communities, returned to the people who carry them. Each annual volume gathers practitioners, researchers, and artists around a single theme, and holds resources for people whether they are new to the movement or a seasoned communitarian. Slow craft, made to last.

Heart of Ecovillages, Edition One: Boundaries and Belonging. The printed cover.

Edition One

Boundaries and Belonging

Our debut edition explores how communities draw their edges and open their gates. The dance of who is in, who is out, and how a community holds its shape while staying porous to the world. It launched July 2026 at the European Ecovillage Gathering in Bavaria, where editors and contributors placed the printed copies into the hands of the movement that made them.

  • 144 pages, A4, perfect-bound
  • 14 contributors from across the movement
  • 100% recycled paper, vegetable inks

We hold four distinct rooms

Each volume of Heart of Ecovillages is structured around four recurring sections, four rooms that communities gather in to learn, to share, to create. Together they form a complete picture of regenerative community life, from the practical to the poetic.
