Classes & Events

There’s nothing like experiencing ecovillage life first hand, but taking a virtual tour of Earthaven is a close second! 

The tour highlights ways in which Earthaven is striving to be a holistic, sustainable culture. The introductory overview tour examines the concept of sustainability at Earthaven through social, ecological, and economic lenses. Not only will you get a glimpse of what has worked through time, but also hear about what has been challenging. And you will have a chance to ask questions!

In the belly of winter, we will engage an old story as a way to get in touch with and tend to our personal stories. Together, through a ritual space and an invitational presence, we aim to  coax the story wanting to come out of hiding.

Join now and you may participate in our January live New Year’s cohort!

We’ll move through the recipes together over the course of the month. Participation in the live sessions is totally optional; you can engage with the live group led by Chloe and NikiAnne, watch the live session recordings on your schedule, or engage with the recipes on your own. Your choice, week to week.
