A rare look at sustainable living

One of the sustainable homes

Narara Ecovillage will present an extraordinary event focused on sustainable living on Saturday, April 27.

Sustainable House Day will open the doors to four of the ecovillage’s homes, showcasing innovative design, renewable energy and eco-conscious practices, with members of the public welcome to attend.

From heritage weatherboard house retrofits to natural buildings constructed with upcycled materials, the event will be an opportunity to witness sustainable architecture first-hand.

Visitors will have the chance to explore passive solar homes with bespoke thermal mass hemp walls and marvel at straw panel houses designed specifically for large families.

For more information, event details and bookings for the 11am or 1.30pm tours, go to https://sustainablehousetours-april27-2024.lilregie.com/booking/attendees/new

The documentary Firebird will be screened on April 26

The village will also present a feature documentary at 7pm on Friday, April 26.

Scotland’s Findhorn Ecovillage has been a pioneer in global climate awareness for decades.

Amidst 60th anniversary celebrations in 2023, it faced a crisis which threatened its very existence.

Firebird is about community and radical hope in the face of such polarising events as COVID, Brexit, mass layoffs and an arson attack on the village’s community centre and sanctuary.

Through the lens of a struggling ecovillage, Firebird is a modern-day commentary on community and relationships.
