Sustainable Community Living

Dancing Rabbit is an ecovillage and intentional community of about 60 people set amid the hills and prairies of rural northeastern Missouri. Our goal is to live ecologically sustainable and socially rewarding lives, and to share the skills and ideas behind that lifestyle.
About our vision and dream

 

Learn About Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage

Dancing Rabbit is not a completed ecovillage – it’s very much a work in progress. While in this pioneering stage, our lives are dynamic, often busy, and interesting. Daily life is different for each person who lives here, so it isn’t always easy to generalize about life at DR. We’ve tried to include a lot of detail on our website about what it’s like here and how that ties into sustainability. From the everyday needs of food and shelter to the more complex questions of culture and social change, we’ve tried to at least touch on the major points of our young ecovillage.

About visiting and joining

Stay at the Milkweed Mercantile Eco Inn

Would you like to see Dancing Rabbit but can only stay for a day or so? Consider a stay at the Milkweed Mercantile, a four-bedroom strawbale inn, opened at Dancing Rabbit in April 2010. The Mercantile is owned by members of Dancing Rabbit, run as a cooperative, and located smack dab in the middle of the village. The Mercantile is an ideal place to get a sense of Dancing Rabbit if you have a limited amount of time. The Mercantile also offers seminars and workshops on all aspects of sustainability. Weekly rates available. The on-site cafe serves fresh, local organic meals. Vegans, vegetarians and omnivores all welcomed and respected. About the Eco-Inn
