Mission & Vision

Mission: The Ecospiritual Education Center, LLC exists to restore the innate physical, mental, and spiritual wellness of the human being in relationship to ourselves and to more-than-human beings.

Guiding Principles

1. Body

The body is the keeper of wisdom and the vehicle of life. The body gives us signals about our world and about our deepest truth. It is our means of connecting with ourselves, with Earth, and with each other. We honor the body and listen to its wisdom.

2. Earth

We have one, conscious Earth from whom we evolved. We recognize the inherent value of all forms of life, not just human life, and we strive to live in a way that honors this value. We honor the Earth and listen to Earth's wisdom.

3. Community

We are communal beings. Our health depends on positive social relationships, and our future depends on our ability to work together. We honor the wisdom of our collective knowing and we listen to one another.
