Dancing Rabbit is an ecovillage, sustainability demonstration project, and robust and growing intentional community in rural northeast Missouri. "At Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage (DR), we understand how difficult it can be to live sustainably and responsibly within modern US culture. We believe that we can work to build a healthy alternative: a social structure that is both non-exploitative and vibrant. As our village grows, we see this ideal take shape more clearly every day: a diverse range of people living ecologically sound lives in a community that truly serves as an example of positive human action within the natural world. In 1997 the DR Land Trust (DRLT) purchased 280 acres in the rolling hills of northeastern Missouri. We are now deep into pioneering—constructing buildings while continuing to plan and develop community structure. There is an ever-increasing emphasis on internal economy, which includes bartering and an internal currency. Eventually, we see 500 to 1,000 people living in our village, with businesses and homes surrounding the town center." http://dancingrabbit.org   / dancingrabbitecovillage   https://intentional.world Facebook:   / intentional8   Instagram:   / intentional8   Music: Loop Zeppelin - Rain in July - https://loopzeppelin.bandcamp.com/alb...   / loopzeppelin   Music: Infinite Third - forever, sap, and nectar - https://music.infinitethird.com/album... https://music.infinitethird.com/album... http://rememberyouaredreaming.com/inf...   / infinitethird   #intentionalcommunity #intentionalliving #sustainability #community
