EarthCraft Residency

This application-based residency is a two-week immersive incubator for current and future agents of cultural change in generating ecological and soul-centric communities. 

There IS an abundance of beautiful eco-communities and projects focusing on the technical skills and structures necessary to live in greater harmony with less harm to Mother Earth. We believe, however, that an important layer is often missing in their soil’s foundations. . . soul. 

Soul, the place where our unique gifts satisfy the world’s hunger, where the joys of our offering meet our communities’ needs. We believe many eco-communities struggle to endure long-term because they have given little water to nourishing their individual soul, the souls of their community, and the soul of earth beneath their feet. 

EarthCraft is an incomparable experiential offering that guides each participant further along their own soul’s path, while simultaneously tending earth and the human community. Youngers, olders, and elders are thus invited to bring their wisdom, skills, wonderings and yearnings to this intensive two-week journey of crafting, creating, and cultivating community in microcosm. Your guides offer their cumulative decades of experience in contemplative practice, nature-based soul work, depth psychology, permaculture, animism, ecological building and community development while allowing the collective experience of the group to guide an emergent, rich, and practical response for these times that honors our own deepest calling.

Social unrest, endemic injustice, catastrophic climate and ecological collapse are calling for us to band together in ancient, yet never-before-seen ways.  Our longing for earth-rooted connection in community whispers to us . . .  there is a way forward. A way that affirms life and offers the hope of our descendants raising their children in a just, wild, and reciprocal world where humans have once again found their place in the greater “family of things.”

We look forward to answering the call with you.
