The Institute brings contemplative spiritual practices together with sustainable ecological practices to guide and vitalize personal and collective transformation. The Institute is a land-based education, retreat, and research center committed to transforming our spiritual, psychological, economic, and agricultural understandings through a deep incorporation of ecological awareness. Contemplative practices that reorient our relation to others and restore our relation to the earth, and in so doing build our resilience, are undertaken alongside sustainable agricultural practices such as organic gardening, regenerative farming, and permaculture, to renew our selves and reconnect to the land.
