From the tribal anarchy of Tipi Valley through to the ordered structure of the Brithdir Mawr intentional farm community, this book charts the roots of the Lammas Ecovillage project. It explores the many contributing elements and opposing forces behind the creation of a pioneering settlement that empowers people to recreate their relationship with the natural world. Paul Wimbush shares his truth in an epic journey spanning two decades and provides a rare insight into the world of alternative communities in South-West Wales. It is a story of vision and hope that describes an emerging land-based culture growing in strength and power.
