Metta Earth’s 10 Year Vision

We welcome activists, educators, farmers, permaculturists, donors, investors, future residents, and others to co-create in the next phases of Metta Earth to respond to the global challenges of our time.

Sustainability education & contemplative practice
Worker-owned farm cooperative
Residential co-housing cooperative
A thriving ecovillage in the making

To help actualize this vision, Metta Earth Institute has just completed a two-year long renovation and upgrade process! This has been an amazing journey beginning with permit applications, consulting, designing, fundraising, and building. Wow…we are overwhelmed with gratitude for so many who have been part of this intensive project! We want to thank and celebrate all of you. And, we want to celebrate all of you who are friends, participants, team, residents, guests, and others who enjoy being here.

Metta Earth now has a new, big, beautiful kitchen with ash and cherry counters from the local land, handicap access with a new bathroom & bedroom, greater fire safety, and fuller water and septic capacity. We’ve also enhanced the main house with big, bright windows; doors; hardwood flooring; a pantry with foods to offer friends and neighbors; a new porch; an edible landscape with new fruit trees and berries; and big stone steps to welcome you!

We stand at a critical moment in Earth’s history, a time when humanity must choose its future. As the world becomes increasingly interdependent and fragile, the future at once holds great peril and great promise. To move forward we must recognize that in the midst of a magnificent diversity of cultures and life forms we are one human family and one Earth community with a common destiny.
