Sometimes we teach our children better than we teach ourselves. In a Muppet parody of the daily activities of his fellow curmudgeons, all crowded into the various rooms of their house, Kermit the Frog once posed the question, “What if we all lived in the same house?”

Opening the front door to the living space, Kermit reveals that the house is a actually a globe, representing Earth.  Standing in the doorway of this Earth house, Kermit answers his own question “What if we all lived in the same house?” by responding: “We all do!
 
We ask ourselves; what will it take to insure that all of the life compressed together on Earth can live together in balance and harmony well into the future in the same house, our one and only Earth?

A model seeking to demonstrate that it is possible for we humans to live in harmony with the Earth,
its inhabitants, and each other, is boldly offered here. That model is Manitou Arbor Ecovillage.

We believe that it takes three pillars to make our vision of "One Earth" living possible:

  • An ever-deepening awareness and appreciation of the interconnectedness of all creation...
    a spiritual connection to the natural world;

  • Living sustainably to promote and protect the promise of a healthy and harmonious life for all, now and in the future;
We invite you to explore our website and the three-pillared foundation of Spirituality, Sustainability, and Community that we are building to realize our dream of living in balance and harmony - and we invite you to join with us in One Earth living on a beautiful and very special piece of land in southwest Michigan!
