We all want well-being, fulfilment and some level of material comfort in our lives. How do we meet our needs without depriving or damaging other people, other life-forms and the planet herself?

Answers to these questions are complex, but there is a simple guiding thread: to apply the principles of natural organic growth and sustainable development to all aspects of our situation, to our human nature, to the way people live and work, and to our environment.

Community can play a vital role in evolving an organic way of living. One focus of this site is information on two community projects I am involved with in Dorset: The Threshold Centre, and the Dorset Eco-Village.

This site is both an introduction to my projects, events and writings about living organically, and a gateway to other contacts and resources on this. Your suggestions are deeply welcome.   Alan Heeks
