A list of vegetarian and eco-villages in Russia

This page is here to show that vegetarian life forms exist and flourish in Russia. Vegetarian associations, communities, retreats, cults, families, success stories and such are to be listed here. History of vegetarianism in Russia and notes on the vegetarian tradition in the Russian Orthodox culture will probably also fit here...

• Vegetarianism in Russian Orthodox tradition

• The Grishino Village

  http://www.grishino.ecology.net.ru/2/page2.htm
  Description: Grishino community is 300 km NorthEast of St. Petersburg. During the summer from 20 to 40 people are living, working, meditating, dancing and laughing together there. Grishino community is building new rooms for guests and new dining room/meeting place now and is inviting volunteers to come and work with on exchange for food and lodging. We speak Russian and English, some of us can speak German and French, and we are inviting our European and American brothers and sisters to come and get the real Russian experience. Everyday hot shower, Russian sauna, vegetarian meals with organic vegetables from our garden, spring water and free swimming in the river are provided. For the summer 2001 we are planing to have: The Dances of Universal Peace leader training with Narayan Waldman, USA (end of June); Grishino Experience program, Family camp, Man and Woman workshop (in July); TAO T'AI CHI-TSUAN' retreat camp with Andrey Serednyakov, Russia (beginning ofAugust). Now we are working with the project of a family school in Grishino, that families with children would be able to move to live in the eco-village all year around. Our inspiring vision is to build a beautiful Universal Temple in traditional Russian architecture style in the middle of the wild flowers field. In this temple we will meditate, pray, sing and dance together. We invite you to join or support us in making our dream come true. Please, contact us for further information.
