sustainable house day
Three Ecovillage residents opened their homes for Sustainable House Day 2009. Sustainable House Day is an annual national event held to showcase sustainable design and construction to the general public to educate and inspire green living.
No other residential estate in Australia boasted so many homes and over 1000 people visited The Ecovillage on the day to see just how these homes are exemplary models of sustainable living. The homes are all energy efficient, water self-sufficient and quite frankly, very beautiful.
Ecovillage homes comply with strict Architectural and Landscaping Covenants so as to maintain a high standard of environmental criteria whilst still remaining aesthetically pleasing and contemporary in their design. They offer comfortable temperatures year round, healthy air quality, low impact building materials and light building footprints.
See the Testimonials page on this website for residents’ experiences of living in their wonderful homes.
Ringing Cedars / Anastasia Discussion Group
Testimonial from Anastasia / Ringing Cedars books:
“Like nothing you’ve ever read!
Anastasia will have you dancing with delight and squealing with excitement as you re-discover YOU - in all your glory! Like waking from a dream, you will find yourself suddenly remembering who you REALLY are! Her soft-spoken words will go straight to your heart - like nothing you have ever read!”
Many residents within The Ecovillage at Currumbin have made a discovery. They are all interested in and inspired by the Anastasia Ringing Cedars series of books. A group of community members is getting together to form a Discussion Group to learn from and gain further insight into this marvellous information.
The Anastasia series speaks of Ecovillages and places where humans co-exist with fauna and flora and with deep respect for the planet and their environment. A couple of devoted Anastasia fans have become Ecovillage owners as they sought to find a place that embodies the principles found in these fascinating and inspirational writings.
community spirit
Ecovillagers are now enjoying the benefits of their wonderful Old Dairy Recreation Facilities. These facilities house a Village Hall, gym, dining room, commercial-style kitchen, spa pavilions, wood-fired pizza oven, childrens playgrounds, lap / recreation pool, picnic and bbq areas and much more.
Monthly movie nights, community games evenings, weddings, parties, soup nights and lots of other enjoyable organised evenings are spent as well as the occasional impromptu informal get together.
Community living certainly has its virtues as children can play freely in easily visible proximity to parents as they socialise and gather with neighbours and friends. The indoor / outdoor nature of the facilities takes great advantage of our year round fabulous climate.
