“It is not easy to do what love requires, to abandon the security I have come to rely on. I decided to follow the advice of the Prophet Nike who said, ‘Just do it.’” – Fredd Lenn, Into the Heart of Everything A churning in my soul and a restlessness in my heart signaled to me that I needed a...

This time of year in Southern Appalachia the waning heat and waxing cold converge to produce sights, sounds, and smells unlike any other season. This weekend’s convergence was resplendent here in our village, with the red leaves of the sourwood trees and the yellow leaves of the oaks and hickories...

Back in the winter, I attended my friend Lee Warren’s workshop on “Place-Based Living at Earthaven Ecovillage.” She talked at length about place. Specifically, she suggested that “we are cosmological orphans” in part because we aren’t connected to place. I’ve been sitting with that concept....

At Earthaven Ecovillage, we do a lot more “chop wood, carry water” than the average American. In some ways it makes life harder and in some ways it makes life better. Taking care of the physical world so that it can take care of me helps me stay embodied, humble, and connected to this great...

I Was Seeking A Land-Based Life

Written by NikiAnne Feinberg on May 4, 2021. Posted in Earthaven Education, Online Events, Visitors. No Comments on I Was Seeking A Land-Based Life

I felt the longing in me early. It became an actual voice sometime in my 20s. The voice said… I want to grow a garden. I want to build my own home. I want to live closer to nature. I want to eat food from close by. I want to know more about my bioregion. I want to be around children who run...

Are We At The End Of The Experiment?

Written by NikiAnne Feinberg on May 1, 2021. Posted in Earthaven Education, In-Person Events, Visitors. No Comments on Are We At The End Of The Experiment?

I just learned about this word: “Anthropocene,” which is a proposed geological epoch starting with “significant human impact on Earth’s geology and ecosystems,” including, but not limited to, anthropogenic climate change. I pulled that from Wikipedia. But the concept that humans are creating...

While it’s hard to be encouraged by the way humans are utilizing planetary resources and influences, to some extent it just makes us hunker down even more, to mine those inner resources that will help us go the distance—get another project done, another plan designed, even explore another...

Winter Weather… or not!

above: This year’s first snow, about 8” in January, was poetically beautiful and rather quickly gone. Monday it gets warm, up into the 70s, and by Wednesday it freezes after midnight. Again. Cold wind slices through the sun’s bright warmth and we lean out of its way; next, it’s gone and we’re pulling...
