About Us
Your Hosts
Tony (my husband) and I (Susan) are passionate about sustainability.
Together we have four children, and Bentley (our standard poodle and living door bell), Mabel (mouser extraordinaire)
and the 'hens' (generously gifting fresh eggs daily)
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; team work, team building, confidence building and leadership)
The earthship is all about exploring a low impact lifestyle, off grid living in an energy efficiency 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.
