Connecting Communities for a Sustainable World
Ecovillages act as research and training centres 
for sustainable development within wider society. 
Alongside the abundance of networking 
opportunities and the flow of inspiration within 
and between participants, the hosting ecovillage 
of Schweibenalp will serve as a living example 
and field of practice for the themes of this years conference.
The mornings offer lectures and after a break a 
more interactive part that focuses on one of the 
four dimensions of sustainability (culture, 
ecology, economy, social). In the afternoon, 
there will be several parallel workshops by 
experienced teachers. These are followed by 
homegroups, where participants meet in groups of 
10-15. The homegroups aim at giving people the 
opportunity to exchange and establish deeper 
connections in a smaller group, meeting the same 
people every day. The program finishes with 
presentations of ecovillage projects in the evenings.
The participants are welcome to share their 
skills and knowledge during an open space session on the last day.

Our hosting partner community
Center of Unity Schweibenalp
We are a community of about 20 people. 
Creativity, compassion, open communication, 
sincere encounters and zest for life are 
important to us. What connects us all is our 
vision, living and working together.
The Business on Schweibenalp is affiliated to the 
Association Center of Unity as a seminar 
business and employs members of the community and 
external staff. We see ourselves as a model 
business that links the events and workshops held 
here, with the community and the Alpine 
Permaculture project as well as being a pioneer in holistic management.

Our charming and renovated Guest House with its 
100 beds was built in the early years of the 
Swiss mountain tourism and is surrounded by an area of about twenty hectares.

"The maintenance of secrets acts like a psychic

Fear not therefore: for there is nothing covered 
that shall not be revealed; and nothing hid that 
shall not be made known. What I tell you in 
darkness, that speak ye in the light and what ye 
hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Matthew 10:26-27

Die Pride and Envie; Flesh, take the poor's advice.
Covetousnesse be gon: Come, Truth and Love arise.
Patience take the Crown; throw Anger out of dores:
Cast out Hypocrisie and Lust, which follows whores:
Then England sit in rest; Thy sorrows will have end;
Thy Sons will live in peace, and each will be a friend.
