Call Directions Website Contact the organization

Our organizational objective is to demonstrate respectful stewardship of this planet Earth. We all have a responsibility.

Supporting a better way of life to restore balance between nature and humans is a calling that came from deep within. Following survival of a near death journey it became very clear what was needed and why we are here. Many of the people who make up the Board of Directors, Advisory Committee and who volunteer for Seeds for Eco Communities have spent much of their lives trying to find this balance through various initiatives underway. The challenge is that there is much fragmentation and often not a shared end goal, as a result the planet continues to suffer - just look around you. Seeds for Eco Communities believes this balance and respect for one another, including our surrounding environment needs to be built as the foundational stones for how we live together. There are many environmental, social and economic benefits that can blossom from ecological community-based living. It is an exciting time to move forward and it is also a critical time as the earth needs us.

As we skip gently through the spring months we look towards the upcoming flower moon - set to light the evening sky in early May. Some Indigenous communities recognize the abundance of blooming flowers during this sacred time of the moon cycle.
When we think about blooming flowers rising collectively together at this time of year, we are reminded about the important role of like minded partners as we all travel on our journeys.

In this month's podcast release from SFEC, we sit down with Ed Peterson, the Founder and Director of the Tiny Town Association.
Watch it here 👉 https://youtu.be/sTh6oC2v2L4
