Damanhur - Ecovillages - Europe Green Century Institute: Green Community Network - This relatively simple Green Community Network Map is a concept demonstration for a next generation mapping interface that is being developed under the auspices of the Green Century Institute. GCI has already initiated a full software development spec of this leading edge green 'metamap' and will soon be putting it out for development to the green open source community. The current map gives a geographical access point for navigating across the internet to the websites for various green communties around the world—with an emphasis on communities in the Green Century Institute's local bioregion, the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California. If you have information on a green community you would like to see added to the Green Community Network Map or any other ecological development projects that fits neatly within the map's current categories, please contact GCI through this site, providing project/community description and links in the body of the email.

Founded in 1977, Damanhur is an international spiritual center for research. Situated in Valchiusella Valley, in the Alpine foothills of northern Italy, Damanhur is a federation of communities with over 800 citizens, a social and political structure, a constitution, 40 economic activities, its own currency, schools, and a daily paper.
The federation now numbers over 450 full time citizens and 350 others who live nearby and take part in its activities. Damanhur offers different kinds of citizenship. It is possible to be a full-time resident or to live in other parts of the world and visit regularly.
The homes and the companies of the federation are scattered all over the Valchiusella Valley. They include approximately 200 hectares of woods, urban surface, and farmland and over 80 buildings, including private homes, studios, laboratories, and farms. Since the very first day of its foundation, Damanhur has been engaged in creating a sustainable way of life. The federation has many centers in Italy and Europe and contact with spiritual groups worldwide. Our Temple of Mankind is a great underground building carved by hand out of the rock and decorated by Damanhur's citizens.
Damanhur consists of three "bodies." The first relates to content and memory, (the School of Meditation), the second relates to innovation and planning (The Game of Life), and the third relates to practical everyday life and organization (the social environment).
