Support Earthaven Ecovillage — a Living Laboratory for a Regenerative Human Future
What if the future we long for is something we can live into right now?
Across the world, people are searching for real answers to urgent questions:
- How do we respond to climate disruption?
- How do we rebuild trust and cooperation?
- How do we meet human needs without exhausting the land that sustains us?
For over 30 years, Earthaven Ecovillage has served as a living laboratory and educational seed bank for a sustainable human future, experimenting with how people can live into a regenerative relationship with the land and compassionate relationships with one another.
Your donation helps sustain this living experiment and carry its lessons far beyond this valley.
Thank You for donating to our
Restory the Future 2025 Year-End Fund Drive!
Our Restory the Future year-end fund drive invited our supporters to co-create a more hopeful future with us — one shaped by regenerative relationships with land, skillful cooperation among people, and practical pathways toward resilience, belonging, and shared well-being.
Thanks to your support, we raised $15,000! And a generous donor matched those contributions and then some, donating an additional $20,000 to Culture’s Edge for our work in support of Earthaven Ecovillage.

Why This Work Matters
Ecovillages like Earthaven matter because they integrate solutions instead of treating problems in isolation. Here, food systems, water, energy, land stewardship, governance, education, and community well-being are addressed together — as parts of a living whole. This integrated approach builds resilience not just for one community, but offers models that can be adapted anywhere people live.
Earthaven was recently featured on NPR for its role in modeling community-based climate solutions.

Nested in Earthaven Ecovillage
Earthaven Ecovillage is supported by Culture’s Edge, the nonprofit partner that helps steward Earthaven’s educational, ecological, and community resilience efforts. We share what we learn through our School of Integrated Living, which offers tours, in-person programs, and online learning rooted in the village’s living laboratory.
Earthaven is where the human community is bonding with the Earth in a manner capable of healing the devastation of the past and inspiring a new grandeur for the future. At Earthaven, even for a brief while, we experience what it is to return to ourselves.
