About Us
Your Hosts
Tony (my husband) and I (Susan) are passionate about sustainability.
Together we have four children, Bentley (our standard poodle and living doorbell), Mabel (mouser extraordinaire)
With our children grown and no longer living at home, we are living our dream - building an Earthship, learning centre and hosting the world.
All are welcome to join us in creating a caring and inclusive learning space here on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
The purpose of the Learning Centre is to provide inclusive, multi-generational environmental education.
a.‘about the environment (e.g. Biology) b.‘for the environment (e.g. Activism) and
c.‘through the environment (e.g. Empowerment; teamwork, team building, confidence building, and leadership)
The Earthship is all about exploring a low-impact lifestyle, off-grid living in an energy-efficient dwelling built from recycled materials.
One that meets local, provincial, and national building and energy codes, built to last for (at least) 100 years.
We bring together professionals, enthusiasts, and the general public to enjoy hands-on learning by hosting seasonal eco-camps, gardening workshops and (occasionally) fireside chats. We also provide a cultural exchange for international and local volunteers.
It is love for the planet, people, and sharing of abundance that makes this project come alive.
