About

Woven Earth (WE) is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering ecological balance and community resilience worldwide. WE achieve this by creating projects and programs which promote regenerative-design practices and integrate local traditions. WE, aside from being an organization, are an interwoven community of people around the globe dedicated to holistic social and ecological activism.

What WE Do

Woven Earth projects and programs currently include Community Agroforestry Projects, Permaculture & Natural Building Training Courses, Ecological-Adventure Programs, Traditional Skills Courses by local people, Appropriate-Technology implementation, Carbon Farming, and more. WE are always open to evolving and finding what works to generate solutions to social and ecological problems. Our mission is currently being carried out in the US, Nepal, and Indonesia, but WE envision the future of our global community as an interwoven network of projects and programs in every corner of the planet.

Featured below are various snapshots of our beautiful community of Earth-Weavers:

WE believe that all members of the Earth are a diverse interwoven family; all species, all races, all genders, connected by the sunlight, soil, air, and water we all depend on.
