Lost Valley Center

From PIW

The mission of Lost Valley Educational Center is to create and foster mutually beneficial relations between humans and all parts of the web of existence. We believe that these relationships provide a means to well-being as well as survival.

In fulfilling this mission, our purpose is to create and maintain an intentional community, including affordable housing, and an educational center dedicated to three goals which guide us in all activities.

To educate broadly in areas such as ecology, sustainable agriculture, human-made environments, personal and spiritual growth, and community development.
To live an ethic in which we are open to spiritual diversity, demonstrate right livelihood and sustainable economics, support individuals in their personal growth and healing, and steward the land to sustain and heal the earth for generations to come.
To participate in the global community, network with others and facilitate the evolution of cooperative societies and socially responsible relationships at every level.

We dedicate ourselves to learning and teaching this way of life.
