Welcome back to Community Resilience, a podcast created in collaboration with the EcoVillage Resilience 2.5 Degree Project, facilitated by the Global EcoVillage Network. Meet Robin, the visionary behind Earthsong Eco-Neighbourhood, nestled in suburban Auckland, New Zealand. As the founder and development coordinator, Robin spearheaded the creation of this innovative cohousing development project, consisting of 32 homes and shared facilities. Earthsong isn't just a housing project, it's a commitment to environmentally sustainable design and deep community engagement. And Robin's story doesn't end there. Today, she's a beacon of inspiration, dedicating her time to writing, teaching, and consulting to empower thriving connected communities. Through seminars, lectures, and workshops, Robin ignites the flames of the cohousing and community-led housing movement in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Robin continues to innovate, planning an eco-friendly social enterprise hub called Walk to Work Eco-Developments at the forefront of Earthsong’s land, weaving sustainability and community into the fabrics of everyday life.
