Lebensgarten in Germany, the community which hosts the next ICSA conference in July 2026, was started in 1983, inspired by Findhorn to transform an abandoned worker settlement into a vibrating ecovillage. Over the years, inspiring people have formed the project with permaculture, zen meditation, eco-mobility, non-violent communication and much more. How are the experiences of communal living in this settlement and how could Lebensgarten follow his vision and ambitious goals for a sustainable and global responsible way of living? Two researchers will present their results on Lebensgarten and will discuss with two members of Lebensgarten ecovillage.
