SHE-EDE

ECOVILLAGE DESIGN EDUCATION WITH MATRIARCHAL VALUES

CLICK TO PLAY TRAILER

Welcome to the MatriCulture School

Women of Matriachal Societies perform on Earth what the Goddess performs in Heaven.

Our educational philosophy is inspired by profound sources such as Spiritual Eco-Feminism, Modern Matriarchal Studies at Hagia Academy, the Maternal Gift Economy Movement, Schumacher College, Gaia Education, the Global Ecovillage Network, the Transition Town Movement, and The Work That Reconnects.

It is a space dedicated to the study and practice of ecological and spiritual values rooted in the legacies of these movements and thinkers. From Heide Goettner-Abendroth to Genevieve Vaughan, from Joanna Macy to Molly Young Brown, from Hildur Jackson to all the wise and beautiful women who cross our path — each contributes to our vision of co-creating an egalitarian matriarchal society.

We learn from Nature. We learn from Mother Earth.We dance with the Goddess and honor all her sacred cycles.

Blessed be. Blessed do.

Mission, Vision & Origins

of the MatriCulture School

Welcome to the Feminine Wisdom MatriCulture School in Narni and to her courses spread around the world.  We have started  the School by facilitating a new form of Ecovillage Design Education, SHE-EDE, first in an Eco-Hostel in Magliano Sabina, (2023), then in Narni (2024), continuing in Covao do Feto, Portugal  (2025) and for the near future  organizing a course in Colombia in the Matriarchal Community of Nashira, (November 2025). We are itinerant and located in Italy, Narni. We act holistically so we have many projects in mind and you, your dreams and your organization could be one of them in the near future.

Our Manifesto

A Matriarchal-Ecological Vision for a Beautiful WorlD

Head

We honor the wisdom of both hemispheres of the brain:
The left – analytical, scientific, and rational.
The right – creative, intuitive, and emotional.
Together, they guide balanced thought and visionary insight.

Heart

We live and relate from the heart.
Here flows our love – deep awareness, understanding, and intuition arise when mind and emotions align with the heart.
The heart gives us courage, compassion, and true connection.

Hands

We shape the world with our hands – through poiesis.
We garden, cook, clean, craft, build, repair.
Our hands are tools of care, creation, and sacred service.

Body

Our bodies are temples of life.
We nourish them through movement, rest, breath, and touch.
They carry us, ground us, and connect us with the Earth.

Soul

The soul is our deep psychological home – a sacred inner landscape.
Here we dream, remember, and transform.

Spirit

We honor the Great Spirit, the living Goddess, the Universe itself.
We move in rhythm with her cycles, listen to her whispers, and act in devotion.

We Are Here

To co-create beauty.
To restore harmony.
To walk gently and powerfully on this Earth.

Blessed be. Blessed do.

MATRIARCHY NOW!

Non-violent Matriarchal Coalition and Activism

Sabina Santovetti

Foundress

My name is

Sabina Santovetti

My secret wish has always been to create, on the hills of Tuscany or Umbria, a sustainable alma mater convent. A new possibilities’ space, a life self-sustained contemporary convent, alive, different, resilient, vibrant, self-sufficient, in regenerative culture mode. I look at Schumacher College, at the Work that Reconnects or at this Akademie on Women’s Studies, and I perceive the same energy of my dream. Studies need to enrich reality and change it.

Doctress Heide Goettner-Abendroth – MatriarchalSocieties p.XXIII 

Founding Mother of the Modern Matriarchal Studies - Hagia Akademie

Understanding the deep structure of matriarchal societies could illuminate the fact that this extraordinary form of society still exists on every continent, and has a long and worldwide history –much longer than the patriarchal form of society…These multiple intersections demonstrate the various ways that modern Matriarchal Studies can be used. They form a critical and liberating research process with a respectful, healing and educational potential. And they are in a position to empower feminist women and alternative men in western societies, as well as indigenous peoples on every continent, to engage fully in effective political alliances against local andglobal patriarchal networks.

Matriarchal Studies

The discovery of this Matriarchal knowledge came through Schumacher College’s studies, which came through my spiritual ecological studies that I started while in Extinction Rebellion movement and the Work that Reconnects Network. In the last five years, my commitment to volunteer climate and ecological activism put my profession on the side, transforming and refining my inner journey. The exercise of writing my Eco-sophy in the first module of Schumacher Wild - College deepened the quest.

Slowly but surely I found myself investigating the Energy of Mother Earth, the Great Goddess in history and religion, Witchcraft in Spirituality and honoring the Pain of Witches‘ hunts in history. I found myself in the Great Feminine of different Cultures as mythology, art and healing. I discovered the outstanding and innovative genial studies of Marija Gimbutas on prehistoric matrilineal societies.

TESTIMONIALS

Niina Ollanketo | FINLAND

PARTICIPANT

“It was amazing to witness how, during the course, many participants were empowered and began to understand the effects of patriarchy on society, after the course creator, Sabina Santovetti, an expert on matriarchal societies, had told us about the history and present of both matriarchal and patriarchal societies. One participant shared how her eyes had been opened in a completely new way and that she would now actively intervene in everyday discrimination more than before. For me, one of the greatest gifts of the course was that I now feel a whole new respect and love for women and womanhood. It’s something that doesn’t take away from other genders but helps to see the greatness of womanhood in all its forms.”

"The course was in my opinion very successful in reaching its learning objectives, the participants gained a clear understanding as well as a practical experience of the 4 dimensions and the tools and theory within each dimension. I deducted 5% because of the density of the course, which makes it a challenge for participants to take in everything that is offered during each session. I learned the importance of finding the right balance between practical embodied work within the dimensions and theoretical input sessions. In this course, different as in a previous EDE I have been a part of, there was much more time spent ‘in the field’, giving participants the opportunity to connect the theory with real time examples and people. We visited and helped at different local farms and received workshops from experts in the field of sustainability and social change in Italy. I think this is a huge value to this 30 day EDE course."
