This book is an inspiring exploration of Sólheimar Ecovillage in Iceland, a pioneering community that embodies sustainability, social responsibility, and inclusivity.
Cohousing expert, Charles Durrett delves into the unique aspects of this ecovillage, about 100 residents, 45 of those include those with developmental and intellectual disabilities, live and thrive alongside neighbors in a safe and enriching environment. Through rich storytelling and detailed first-person accounts, the book highlights the importance of creating communities that celebrate and support neurodiversity. Durrett presents Sólheimar as a model for how we can build neuro-inclusive spaces that respect and uplift every individual’s potential, fostering a sense of belonging and purpose. The book offers practical insights into the design, the principles and the practices that make Sólheimar a standout community for inclusive living. It challenges readers to rethink conventional approaches, advocating for environments where all people, regardless of their cognitive differences, can live meaningful and fulfilling lives. Durrett also presents case studies of 4 other neuro-inclusive communities including Hertha Levefallesskab, WeBUILT (We Build Unique Independent Lives Together), Creative Living Community of CT, and L’Arche International Movement. With its focus on real-world solutions and its call to action, this book is both a guide and an inspiration for anyone interested in the intersection of sustainability, community living, and neuro-inclusivity.
It will have a broad audience of architects, designers, occupational therapists, mental health professionals, housing developers, practitioners in housing and social care, among others.
