12. Balancing Collective Living with Individual Ideas with Sally Maguire from Shepherd's Ground

Living in an intentional eco village such as Shepherd’s Ground has an overarching common goal of living smart and simply. Based on a rural property outside of Maitland NSW it would seem that the challenges of living a lighter footprint lifestyle would be the same for everyone. However, even though there’s the common goal of living sustainably, there’s plenty of scope for residents to individualise what sustainability means to them.  Sally Maguire, resident of Shepherd’s Groun shares her insights of what it’s like to live in an eco village, also known as a land share community.
