We are a reflection of what we believe is possible in real life. Whether you’re someone looking for a diverse and engaging community, a student studying the impact of fossil fuel production, or a professional looking for a virtual workplace Etopia has it all.

From the moment you enter Etopia Plaza you’ll experience a community like no other, built on core principles of regenerative living, cooperation, and the best way to support the collective good. And we’re a lot of fun! From our Weakly Bored Meatings to our annual Talk Like A Pirate Day to our Earth Day Celebration you’re bound to find something that will keep you interested and involved.

Ride the gondola to Eagle Peak. Walk home from your shop at Etopia Plaza and stop at the Farmer’s Market on your way. Join friends for coffee at Tsidel’s Cafe or enjoy a game or two at Ginny’s Arcade. Take a mindfulness walk or sail our fully navigable waterways. Chat with our storytellers to learn more about Etopia, permaculture, water reclamation, or just to hear a funny story or two. There’s always plenty to see, do, and experience across our 7 themed regions.

Visit Etopia and learn how you can take some of our ideas and apply them to the real world.

 
Gosau Dachstien SL Offers More than Holiday Shopping
10 December 2020 - Uncategorized - Comments Off on Gosau Dachstien SL Offers More than Holiday Shopping

I don’t often write about other regions, but this place is AMAZING! Gosau am Dachstein in SL has all the elements of a perfect winter experience. There’s a fun little market when you first land. Santa stands there with his list and checking it twice. The market booths have traditional and fun gift ideas along with some standard SL fare. I especially enjoyed the treats and holiday spirit of the market. The fun thing is that there is someone nearby to welcome you, share information about the real Gosau am Dachstein in Austria, and to answer questions. As I strolled…

50 Years of Earth Day
22 April 2020 - Uncategorized - Comments Off on 50 Years of Earth Day

There are many concerns that going outside might infect us with the COVID-19 virus. That is especially true for close spaces with other people such as stores, offices, buses, planes, picnics, sporting events, and more. Not all of us can go out into the woods for a walk alone. Going for a walk in your neighborhood wearing a face mask and remaining at least 6′ (2 meters) apart may be okay, but feels uncomfortable for most of us.
