Upcoming Orientations
Upcoming Orientations: May 23, June 22, and July 13th and a weekday Monday, May 20th at 2 PM
At Orientation, we will share our site layout with you, give you a history of our project, the vision that inspires it, and where we are at in putting the Ecovillage on the ground. SITES ARE NOW AVAILABLE! If you are interested in purchasing a village site, we will provide additional community information with you to take home and peruse. If the weather permits, we will visit the 270-acre parcel of land where the Ecovillage will be located. Orientations are especially for those seriously interested in purchasing a site and living at MAEV.
To reserve a spot at our next Orientation, please call 1-800-354-0382 and leave a message, or email us at mail@manitouarbor.org. We will not hold an Orientation if we do not receive reservation confirmations.
Orientations are held at the Eco-Spirituality Center, in the office of Sr. Ginny Jones, at Nazareth, MI, 3427 Gull Road (M43) on the East side of Kalamazoo (1.5 miles East of Borgess Hospital, 1 mile West of the Gull Road & Sprinkle Road interchange) on the campus of the Congregation of St. Joseph and inside the “Transformations: CSJ Spirituality Center.”
Come in the entrance off Gull Road. It is lined with large 100-year-old conifers.
The “Transformations” building will be on your left and is clearly marked.
