Our programs encourage participants to explore their values, attitudes and actions through discussion with other people. We focus our programs on the following key principles:

• An earth-centered ethic promoting individual responsibility for the Earth
• The practice of engaged simplicity to enrich life and reduce personal impact on the Earth
• A dedication to living fully in place and protecting the unique bioregion in which one lives
• Belief in the idea that change is achieved through intentional and varied practices determined by informed citizens.
