Healing through Grief: Joanna Laws Landis

How does an ecovillage of over 200 people respond to the pandemic, and are they prepared for the chaos of this scale in the future?

Nathan Scott is the Director of LEARN@EcoVillage, the non-profit education program of EcoVillage at Ithaca.  He has a background in global experiential education and a passion for engaging people of all ages in the struggle for a more liveable climate and for the health and wellness of our living planet.  He lives at the EcoVillage in Ithaca and is blessed to be surrounded by a loving community - both human and non-human.
