In a veteran kibbutz near the Sea of Galilee, an ecological community has been settling over the last few years, nowadays consisting around 40 families. The lifestyle lead by community members emphasizes simplicity, sustainability & active community life. Most adults make their living in local initiatives. Community members have initiated & established “The Spring Education House for the Love of Human & Nature”, a system of schools & kindergartens with a communal-Environmental spirit. The members have built it with a primary self investment, in deserted education buildings of the kibbutz, and today approximately 70 kids of 2-12 years are being educated here. The contact between community members & veteran kibbutz members is challenging for all, & is being woven slowly thanks to mutual effort. As a part of the cultural-spiritual ecology, the members try to develop, in addition to the traditional Jewish holydays, also some unique community traditions such as performing the new art & theater shows of community members once a year, community camping in nature twice a year & a farmer’s market once a month.
Kibboutz Hukuk écologique communautaire
Dans un vétéran kibboutz près de la mer de Galilée, une communauté écologique a été régler au cours des dernières années, de nos jours composé d'environ 40 familles. Le plomb mode de vie par les membres de la communauté met l'accent sur la vie communautaire simplicité, durabilité et actif.La plupart des adultes gagnent leur vie dans des initiatives locales. Les membres des communautés ont initié et mis en place «La Maison éducation de printemps pour l'amour de la nature humaine &", un réseau d'écoles et jardins d'enfants avec un esprit communautaire de l'environnement-. Les membres ont construit avec un investissement de soi primaire, dans les bâtiments d'enseignement désertes du kibboutz, et aujourd'hui, environ 70 enfants de 2-12 ans sont scolarisés ici. Le contact entre les membres de la communauté et des membres du kibboutz vétérans est un défi pour tous, et se tisse lentement grâce à l'effort commun.Dans le cadre de l'écologie culturelle et spirituelle, les membres essayent de développer, en plus des solennités juives traditionnelles, aussi certaines traditions communautaires uniques, telles que l'exécution des nouveaux spectacles d'art et de théâtre de membres de la communauté une fois un camping communautaire année, deux fois dans la nature un an et un marché fermier une fois par mois.

1. Host for EDE Course: Alex Kachan, organic farmer and mediation teacher.
2. Venue for EDE Course: Kibbutz Hukuk, Tiberia (Tiberius), Israel
I believe Kibbutz Hukuk was unique as an EDE venue because a new group of about 40 ecologically oriented families with young children joined an already-established kibbutz (intentional community) with a diminished population, as many kibbutz members had left over the years. The new families introduced many ecological practices and started their own holistic grammar school and kindergarten onsite.
3. Teaching Facilities and Accommodations: Liba Conference Center and Guest House at Kibbutz Hukuk, a new lodging and seminar center owned by four of the new Hukuk members. We taught course sessions in the main seminar room and just outside in a shady pavilion. Participants stayed in dorm rooms or in sleeping bags on foam mats in Liba’s main seminar room. The Liba staff served delicious organic Middle Eastern meals outside by the pavilion. In the kitchen area inside participants made tea or the occasional fancy dessert and used the Internet. It felt like we were our own small community sharing our own attractive community center.
Vika and Nika led the site tour of Kibbutz Hukuk, lead the ecological design and permaculture-based site planning aspects of the course (ecological key), and introduced participants to the Re-evaulation Co-counseling practice and described how their group uses it in community (social key).
Vika (a man) and Niza (a woman) are permaculture teachers and members of the Israeli Permaculture Organization.
