Lost Valley Educational Center

We are a educational non profit and intentional community located outside of Eugene, Oregon. We host courses, workshops, events, a conference center, and the Meadowsong Ecovillage residential community, which are all contexts for world view changing and interactive, experiential learning. People who come through any of those avenues will grow in their ability to be positive agents for change in a wide variety of work settings, social action groups, living situations and life paths.

Our courses especially emphasize permaculture, ecovillages, green neighborhoods, communication in community, creating cottage industries, and an integral perspective which sees that all of us have something important to contribute to the planet at this time. Students learn through applying theory to action on-site and in our region, so one outcome of our courses will be providing entrepreneurs, apprentices, services and goods to our local community, creating more ecological, social and economic resilience in our bio-region.
