Hello, pola_paris. I have not experienced life in an ecovillage. Your post has piqued my curiosity about how you intend to assimilate "solitude is bliss" with the consensus decision-making community living entails?

I suppose a crisis may be avoided if you were to find a community of like-minded individuals, and no longer felt the need to live alone away from society.

The existential issues I assume refer to concern over personal responsibility in a group setting. Sartre defines "anguish" as the emotion that people feel once they realize that they're responsible not just for themselves, but for all humanity." It seems a life of solitude attempts to avoid that responsibility.

Kosha Joubert, when president of the Global Ecovillage Network, has defined an Ecovillage as:

an intentional or traditional community consciously designed by its inhabitants, in which people consciously value what they have and integrate this with innovative technologies to make their lives more sustainable, and the whole process is owned by the people living there. The aim is to regenerate social and natural environments. In this view, achieving sustainability is not enough; it is vital also to regenerate the social and environmental fabric of life, and across all four dimensions of sustainability: social, environmental, economic and cultural. (Emphasis added).

Responsibility for personal behavior therefore appears to be an aspect of both existentialism and life in an ecovillage. Further, that responsibility has an accountability to all humanity.

Your aspiration "to pursue a more meaningful, richer and healthier way of living" is admirable if the focus is to benefit both you and mankind.
