TUI Community

About this Speaker

Tui Ecovillage is a 37-year-old rural residential community situated at the top of the South Island of New Zealand. It features a farm, orchard, vegetable gardens, community house, craft workshop, woodwork shop, barn, and outdoor education field. This facility runs courses year-round, from Rites of Passage for young men and young women to Permaculture Design Courses. It has a very successful co-operative healing balms business that employs half of the 30 adults living in the community.

Member-residents of Tui are deeply committed to personal growth and community cohesion.
