Creative Village: Creating communities of interest for eco-living.

About us

Creative Village welcomes Resurgence Subscribers and

Friends of Resurgence to the Creative Village Membership
Network.

We comprise a network of like-minded people – (Sangha).

Members and their friends share positive values and

ethos, living, working, studying and doing business with
each other from a position of respect, based not on
manipulation or greed, but co-operatively, with regard to
the interests of People and Planet.

An ever-widening circle, the Sangha grows.

Creative Village works with selected centres for retreat in

the UK and Europe, including: The Spirit of Life Centre, Mani, Greece.

Do you speak a second language, as well as English?
