Observation
People are inspired the world over to learn to live in greater harmony with nature. We travel to wild untouched places of natural beauty to feel the aliveness and health of nature and ourselves. Yet in our own backyards and neighborhoods, the health of our land, waterways, and air, along with the awareness of our relationship with it and our responsibility as custodians has been increasingly challenged. Fortunately, we can learn to cultivate our properties and practices through hands-on learning at a designated local educational and retreat center to restore this coherence, this inner and outer balance between nature and our own Nature. By example, we can create a nature-based movement within our community, spreading the wisdom and experience, and making a world of difference each in our own way, in our gardens, farms, and backyards.
Objective
We must take action to preserve, protect, and participate in sharing the wisdom and traditions that support healthy thriving examples of cultivated land in balance with nature before this delicate balance is lost forever. It is imperative that we sustain and showcase land that embodies biodynamic diversity, permaculture principles, and mindfulness practices in daily life, as a living example from which to study and enhance our own local properties and heal ourselves and our neighborhoods. We have the unique opportunity to create a flagship eco-social farm and exemplary educational hub that helps lift people’s daily lives, health, and spirits into a beautiful, respectful, and grounded future for all, one course, one garden at a time, and to create affiliations with exemplary farms and gardens as sister centers around the world for continued learning and travel.
Offering
By preserving an existing biodynamic cultivated local farm & garden as an integral center, we support relevant conversations and tangible ways to come into right relationship with the land on which we live, thus facilitating the green socio-economic revolution right from our own properties and neighborhoods. Together with mindfulness and greater awareness we are positively shifting the cultural collective in our own backyards and around the world. Our programs are designed to support individual practices, groups, and certifications that help make it a desirable imperative for mindful citizens and property owners to actively cultivate green living through private properties as well as public marketplaces and positively impact our world.
Our Legacy
We are the stewards of what is to come. The actions we take now in support of our land, our educational focus, and our conscious communities will determine the support systems for future generations and earth balance. We have an unique window in time, an unprecedented opportunity to come into a greater understanding of nature’s rhythms and cycles and to find a deeper respect for the balance of natural law in alignment with human evolution. This is a process destined yet unique for everyone. Along the way there are identifiable patterns that speak to each of us. We can focus on and enhance everyone’s experience by focusing our education and services that promote understanding, encouragement, peace, self-growth, acceptance, awareness, kindness, fulfillment, and gratitude.
Llike the seed pattern in a sunflower, or light shining through a lotus, these patterns (of consciousness, of community) are like the flowering pattern of life. Each person’s lessons are a link to greater awareness for us all. We can support our collective evolution through the daily, local, and networked practices and education offered here. This allows everyone’s values and participation to evolve together, even when our collective spans the spectrum of learning.
Imagine a world where people live in harmony with Nature, where technological advancements weave seamlessly with ancient earth wisdom, and where daily lives are enriched and empowered by working WITH local land and community rather than outsourced or depleted by outmoded methods or limited earth-based education.
Imagine the way you live reflects your most inspired creative philosophy and purpose in greater balance with your sustenance and society.
Imagine the wisdom, learning, and practices that empower us to live like this are available at a center, at many centers, in a spectrum at a local and an international level. Some are here to practice Permaculture design principles, some work with biodynamic land cultivation, some practice integral ways of greening their lives, some use herbal remedies and self growth practices, mediation, yoga, and community based services. We all come together and create much needed transformation. May we each be the change we wish to see in the world.
