What Is the European Ecovillage Gathering?
THE GATHERING is hosted by GEN Europe, the European Ecovillage Network. It’s Europe’s biggest annual festival in celebration of ecovillages and regenerative communities, where over 800 people come together to learn, share, co-create, celebrate, and experience what it takes to build community.
The Ecovillage culture, where we strive to live in harmony with each other, all creatures and Mother Earth, feeds my soul and gives me hope for humanity.
