About this Event

Find out how sustainable living works in practice.

Interested in community living, sustainable housing, and permaculture? Come and visit Earthsong Eco-Neighbourhood in Ranui for a day of workshops, activities, stalls, and live music.

Learn about:

• How to compost and grow your own food using permaculture principles
• How a diverse group of 60 people uses coloured cards to aid consensus-driven community decision-making
• Tips and insights into how to build sustainable housing and community-centred design
• Designing for flood resilience

• and more!

Chat with the residents over a cup of coffee and discover how Earthsong was developed as a collective. The project continues to run as a self-managed community aiming for social, environmental, and economic sustainability. Meet people involved in local conservation and sustainability initiatives, and enjoy live music from local artists. The event offers activities for kids and adults, as well as food, drink, music, and a sense of community.

A shared celebration of living sustainably, resiliently, and regeneratively together.
