The European Ecovillage Gathering 2025 Aftermovie is live!
What does it look like when hundreds of people come together to celebrate three decades of intentional community living? The aftermovie from the 2025 European Ecovillage Gathering offers a vibrant glimpse into this extraordinary annual event!
A Movement Rooted in Connection
The European Ecovillage Gathering is more than just a conference—it’s an annual celebration of intentional communities, community-led initiatives, and regenerative culture. Created by GEN Europe, the European ecovillage network, the Gathering serves as a vital meeting point for everyone curious about what it truly means to live in community.
Whether you’re an experienced community member or simply exploring the possibility of collective living, the Gathering offers a unique space to connect, learn, explore, and discover the profound possibilities of living and growing together.
Celebrating 30 Years of the Movement
This milestone year held special significance as we marked 30 years of an ever-vibrant movement. From August 12-17th, participants gathered in the enchanting surroundings of Manas Garden, Hungary, graciously hosted by the Gyuttment organisation.
The gathering’s theme beautifully captured the cyclical nature of community work: tending the roots of the movement, spreading branches across the GEN regions, harvesting the fruits of collective labor, and planting countless seeds—ideas destined to spread far and wide across Europe and beyond.
Experience the Magic
The aftermovie captures the essence of those transformative days—the laughter, the learning, the connections forged, and the palpable sense of possibility that permeates every corner of an ecovillage gathering. Set to the beautiful sounds of “Paripám Csudaszép Pejkó” by HolddalaNap Zenekar, the film invites viewers into the heart of this remarkable community.
Behind the lens was André Patrão, who both filmed and edited this visual journey, with technical equipment provided by Association MomentuM. The stunning visual identity was crafted by Fanni Sall and Petra Oberfrank, perfectly capturing the spirit of the gathering.
Join the Movement
The European Ecovillage Gathering continues its journey in 2026, with Nature Community, Germany, set to host the next chapter of this inspiring story.
If you’re curious about intentional living, passionate about sustainability, or simply wondering if there’s a different way to exist on this planet, the ecovillage movement welcomes you with open arms!
