We believe humans are resilient. Our ability to be resilient to changes in our environment can best be nurtured by having deep connection to nature itself. SLI was created to support community leaders in developing the skills to build their capacity to be agents of change within their own communities. To realize our mission we hosted trainings and events, maintained cutting-edge demonstrations in sustainable living, and partnered with organizations and companies that shared our values to further the impact of our work.
The Solar Living Center opened a 12 acre educational site in Hopland, California, and for 25 years served as a innovator and hands-on educator to promote sustainable practices for a healthier earth. In 2020, the site was closed due to the pandemic and other factors and is now experiencing a rebirth. Members of the original Center community as well as a new generation are now coming together to plan for and reimagine the future.
