October brings a time of celebration as we enter into another year of existence as a Global Ecovillage Network!
Not only is October the month that the Global Ecovillage Network came into existence, but it is also the birthday of our late co-founder Hildur Jackson celebrated by the announcement of our annual ecovillage excellence prize - the Hildur Jackson Award. The Jackson family has made an unforgettable impact on this network and the regenerative movement as a whole. The celebration continues in Findhorn Ecovillage and online to commemorate the work of Ross Jackson.

Ross Jackson, together with Hildur Jackson, co-founded Gaia Trust, The Global Ecovillage Network, and Gaia Education. He has dedicated his life to supporting the uprising of a post-growth culture with the notion that the foundation of this culture must necessarily be sustainable human settlements. Thus the Global Ecovillage Network was created to provide such models.
After 30 years of inspirational support for the Global Ecovillage Network and Gaia Education, Ross is stepping down as Chair of the Board of Gaia Education. The Global Ecovillage Network is invited, together with members of Gaia Education, GEESE, Findhorn, and the global regenerative community to lovingly commemorate and celebrate Ross Jackson. 🎉 For those of you who's lives were impacted by this wonderful man, please join us on the 21st of October, live at Findhorn Ecovillage or online.

The Hildur Jackson Award is an adaptation of the previously named GAIA Excellence Award, which was given to a single European community that demonstrated admirable efforts to create a better world. The award has since grown to include regional and national networks and upon its global expansion was renamed to honor our late co-founder Hlidur Jackson.
We announce the winner of this £3,000 award every year on Hildur's birthday, October 7th! Learn more about the finalists and be sure to follow GEN on social media to find out who the winner is.
