eu at The Spirit of Life Retreat Centre, Mani, Greece:

Barefoot Holidays for Social Entrepreneurs

For Resurgence subscribers, eco-graduates and professionals

At Zen Cafes, part of our work consists of, translating the vision
of E.F. Schumacher (founder of Schumacher College) and
Maurice Ash into practical modern contexts.

In this process, we introduce the talks and published writings of

Satish Kumar and the body of work that comprises Resurgence
Magazine.

We welcome those who seek to translate a sustainable vision, values and

understanding into practical benefits that bring wholeness to community, both
rural and urban, to create communities that can prosper and flourish.

We welcome those with an interest in Transition Culture, human-scale education

and Dharma Studies.

See: “New Renaissance” by Maurice Ash: http://www.amazon.com/New-

Renaissance-Essays-Search-Wholeness/dp/1870098005

We welcome applications from investors in sustainable community, as well as

applications from individuals to study with us.

We invite students, graduate students, professionals and collectives of individuals

who want to set up their own independent Social Enterprise, Fair Trade collective,
or Right Livelihood.

Barefoot Holidays for Social Entrepreneurs

College we offer “Barefoot Holidays for Social Entrepreneurs” –

Life Centre, Mani, Greece.

Eco-learning
