Dear Friends,
ECOVILLAGE DESIGN EDUCATION AND TRAINING OF TRAINERS, THAILAND
17 JANUARY TO 6 MARCH 2011
Wongsanit Ashram is pleased to invite you to our 4^th annual Ecovillage
Design Education (EDE) and Training of Trainers (TOT) courses, holistic
and participatory courses in social, ecological and econmical
sustainability.
Promoting a more holistic and interconnected way of life, EDE courses
are run in many different urban and rural contexts around the world.
Founded by Gaia Education, EDE has become the predominant course for
those interested in understanding, exploring, joining and/or (re-)
forming their own ecovillage.
The 4 dimensions of the EDE -- *Social Design*, *Worldview*, *Economic
Design* and *Ecological Design* -- take participants on an experiential
learning journey where heads, hearts and hands come together in an
exploration & inquiry into community & ecovillage design.
Setting the Thailand EDE apart, a 5^th week, *Design Studio*, offers
participants the opportunity to apply knowledge learnt and insight
gained over the previous 4 weeks on an actual site design project.
Following a process of participatory action research & development
(*PAR*), participants design sustainability into an existing Thai
village or design a new project from the ground up.
The Thailand EDE, taught in English, weaves *traditional knowledge* of
indigenous cultures from Asia with the new, *emerging paradigms* of
intentional communities from the West.
In the follow-on *Training of Trainers* course, prepare to be
enlightened in an innovative approach towards creating & facilitating
transformative learning experiences. As with the EDE, the TOT is an
experiential and participative course.

If you have any further questions or require further information, please

We look forward to seeing you here!
With best wishes,
Paola & The EDE Thailand Team
