Honeydew is a global network of eco-communities – a collaborative initiative to build a sustainable future. We emphasise collective resilience and communal creativity, as an antidote to isolating individualism. Honeydew seeks to blend the best of modernity with tradition: cosmopolitan in culture and local in nature, reconnecting us with the earth and with each other. Our intergenerational communities provide a space for sharing, healing, and mutual care.

Communal living in a state of natural abundance.
A cooperative model that harnesses the talents of all its members – instead of trapping them in perpetual competition.

Creativity in symphony – exploring states of ‘group flow’.
A network of globally-interconnected communities sharing resources, knowledge, and personnel. A culture of co-creation that crosses borders.
