Our friends at Ecovillage Tours have just announced their full lineup of 2026 tours.

Join this info session on Dec 3rd at 2 PM EST (1 PM CST) to explore what ecovillages are really like and how their guided tours can help you experience community living firsthand.

https://programs.communityfinders.com/ecovillages-webinar


These tours are perfect if you’re dreaming of joining or starting an intentional community — or if you just need some inspiration. You'll visit a diversity of ecovillages, meet founders and residents, and see firsthand how these communities work—from governance and group dynamics to food systems and daily rhythms.

It’s a rare chance to build relationships, get inspired, and gather practical tools to move forward on your own community journey.

Use discount code PERMIES200 to get $200 off any tour you want to sign up for!
