About the Residential Community at Lost Valley:

        The Lost Valley residential community provides a "living laboratory" for exploring, experimenting, and demonstrating the various practices that we teach. The site and intentional community form what we consider to be an "aspiring" ecovllage. Rather than fully completed or realizing all of our ideals, we are in the process ourselves of learning how to implement these new and challenging techniques. We feel that this stage is fertile for learning, research, and growth.  Some of the residents work for the educational center, while others work off-site; there are possiblities for creating one's own micro-enterprise.  We are especially interested in residents who share a common intention to steward this land and develop a sustainable culture, recognizing and honoring aesthetic, emotional, and interpersonal dimensions of sustainability, as well as practical.
