Kaip susikurti harmoningą gyvenimą? Įkvepiančios istorijos iš ekokaimų patirties

I read this book, but in english. There's no English version that's been added on goodreads.

Reading this has been deeply concerning for so many of these ecovillages did not have veganism as their main focus. In fact none of these villages made veganism a requirement and I feel if anyone or anything should understand animal welfare it is people concerned with this eco stuff and with all this money to build themselves these dreamy places. There was quite a huge number of these villages that made vegetarianism a requirement though. There was one village which provided the villages with organic meat, that one was yikes. Some like organic beekeeping and a lot of them use animals on some level and I suppose I would like them to go into specifics for that, I believe there is another book that goes on eco concepts so maybe I will find out by reading that. That also is a bit concerning. The worst part is these live love laugh prolonged mini stories at the start of each chapter, why, get me away, deeply distressing.

Concerning stuff out of the way these villages do seem like havens in a lot of ways. All of them function differently, but some have alternative education systems for children, some have their own economy and businesses, some have rules on silence, there is one that does something akin to what performance artists would do to prepare themselves. It is so cool that Lithuania has around 3 of them at the very least because I am pretty sure 3 were mentioned. One of them gave opportunities to the jobless and all sorts of outcasts, people with disabilities, that one sounds epic. Some of these just collect artists and they just do all sorts of crafts stuff. Most of these have self-sustainable models where the villages provide the food for themselves like they grow fruits and vegetables.

Most of these were based around Vladimir Megre's vision, I never heard of this guy's existence so I'm curious why so many of these villages decided to follow this guy's plans.
Are these some subset of more spiritual ecovillages? Am I missing the full pictures by just reading this? I do hope so because there is more chance then for me to discover cooler ones.

As cool as this concept is, it does seem like you have to buy the land for it, find a community and build the houses, establish trees and bushes, build a literal village which won't be on my radar anytime soon, but I might write about it. It is cool how they try to be radical about everything (not about veganism though!), like having holigarchy? (don't remember but I assume it's to do with the word holistic)

I am a bit sad that my library doesn't have the most relevant books on these topics, in my humble opinion. It does have some vegan cookbooks so maybe I am missing something, let's hope so.
