Belgium Terre d'Enneille
Durbuy
existing Terre d'Enneille is a shared community settlement welcoming friends
eco-village 0f nature. It is an eco-spiritual village without creed or collective doctrine
and organised as a coop. We do not represent a new religion or
cult. We see ourselves as a meeting and experiential place gathering
people with different spiritual paths or practices. We believe that when
we align ourselves to our charter's values, and when we "exchange",
we are able to create a lifestyle that respect the individual, the collective
and the environment. Each of us consider ourselves as self-reliable
and responsible for a part of planet - to manage it as ecologically as
possible, to preserve nature and its diversity.
The eco-village is a place of sharing and exchange, where people wanting
to base their life on Love and Peace come together. Love of all
beings and of Nature, linked to the Consciousness, includes a planetary
and ecological consciousness and responsibility. Through that Love
comes the qualities of welcoming, respect, empowerment, personal transformation,
non-judgement, discernment, realignment, honesty and forgiveness.
These qualities will manifest themselves in co-operative behaviours,
co-creation, mutual help, willingness to find the well-being
of the whole as well as of the individuals, using consensus, innerlistening
and atunement to take decisions; wanting to see beauty in ourselves,
in others and all around, with joy and gratitude. All of this as an
expression and incarnation of a spirituality anchored in the daily life.
8 Consensus: a decision is made when every member can support it
for the good of the whole, even if all of them would not have
chosen it personally
« Inner-listening: to be open, beyond the emotional and the mental,
to a Wisdom that is above our ego.
* Atunement: from a state of centring and alignment, to open ourselves
and seek for Unity with others and the environment. It is
often used at the beginning of an activity, when a decision is to be
taken, or when a distortion needs to be lifted.
