Lost Valley Educational Center

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lost Valley Educational Center is an intentional community and ecovillage located on 87 acres of forested land in Dexter, Oregon, United States, 17 miles southeast of Eugene. The center is 18 years old and is located on the grounds of the old headquarters of the Shiloh Youth Revival Centers.

The nonprofit educational center is focused on personal growth, permaculture, sustainability, and simple living. Its mission is to create and foster mutually beneficial relations between humans and all parts of the web of existence. Some of the features on the land are gardens, meadows, forests, ponds, and a creek. It hosts many workshops throughout the year, such as the Ecovillage and Permaculture Certificate Program, the Permaculture Design Certificate course, and Sustainable Homes: An Introduction to Eco-Building and Appropriate Technology. The Ecovillage and Permaculture Certificate Program immerses participants in the theoretical, physical, and social aspects of ecovillages, community living, and permaculture.
