WELCOME TO O.U.R. ECOVILLAGE....
We are a 25ac “Regenerative Living Demonstration Site & Educational Research Center’ (1999). As a Non-Profit (Community Services) Cooperative, we are an intercultural/intergenerational/interfaith living learning reVILLAGEing space. With cultures and countries from around the planet we bring our local community precedent-setting unique built environments/technical systems, and lawful permaculture design innovation. We invite you to immerse yourself in OUR Restorative classroom/Peacemaking space – honouring the Peoples and Indigenous Territorial histories of our bio-region.
Permaculture Design Certificate and reVILLAGEing Family Camp
July 3 to 18th, 2026
At OUR Ecovillage, we believe that we are all teachers and we are all learners.
In 2026, we invite you to co-create a truly unique, transformational experience: a two-week journey of living, learning, healing, and designing — together.
Shifting patterns, exploring worldviews, and practicing tools and capacity building creates new possibilities when stepping into deep-dive ‘probiotic’ ecological knowledge building. Rooted in relational pedagogy and an Indigenous / kinship worldview, this gathering blends the depth of a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course with the magic of a reVILLAGEing Family Camp, Child Honouring & Peacemaking — a model of living and learning that is both ancient and urgently needed for our times.
reVILLAGEing Family Camp
Rooted in Raffi’s Child Honouring vision and Peacemaking practices, OUR camp is immersed in hands-on projects, nature, working with farm animals, and fun cooperative learning across generations.
Over two weeks, participants will journey together, led by diversely-skilled facilitators, guest presenters, and a visit from Raffi himself! All at one of the most beautiful and intact permaculture demonstration sites in Canada!
