In 2015 I embarked on a Journey of inner and outer discovery, traveling among ecovillages and sustainability projects in Europe, Canada, and the United States.
There are so many ways I could present this Journey. Here I offer a simple What / Where / When index as one starting place.
Right now the titles link to the external Web page (if one exists) for each item. As I write blog posts for them, I will change their titles to link to these instead. Bold text highlights items with longer duration or more qualitative significance for the Journey.
