From the Publisher:
“The ecostery and land trust are two examples of social organizations worth investments of time, energy and contributions. Both...empower participants in their daily lives.... The ecostery concept derives its origin from monastic forms of land based communities.... Monastic form has possibilities for decentralized, more or less self-sustaining communities, committed to work on bioregional restoration over long periods of time, without demand for profits or centralized power. Alan Drengson, an Emeritus Professor at the University of Victoria, has suggested the term ecostery be used to refer to such a form of community. ...The word ecostery was formed by combining elements from monastery and ecology.... Drengson sees the ecostery movement as an important part of the deep, long-range ecology movement because it emphasizes lifestyle and practice, while other parts of the movement emphasize political change and changes in social policy.” Bill Devall, in Living Richly i! n an Age of Limits, Gibb Smith, Salt Lake City, 1993.
