For the consciously living person who really wants to give meaning to concepts such as sustainability, community, spirituality, creativity, ecology and social responsibility.
Welcome to ECOlonie
Gaia Collective ECOlonie is a residential and working community located in the Lower Vosges in France. Since 1989, it has been an inspiring place where people can rediscover their versatility — and themselves. Our vision centers around the question: “How can we, as human beings, reconnect with our full potential?” At ECOlonie, we explore this by working together on projects that express our creativity and skills.
ECOlonie is entirely supported by both temporary and permanent participants (volunteers) as well as long-term residents. Together, we take care of the land, the gardens, the kitchen, and all the daily tasks that make this place a vibrant and sustainable community. Staying here means not only enjoying the peace and beauty of nature but also experiencing the dynamic of a place where people live, work, and learn together.
Kind regards,
The ECOlonie residents
