Metta Earth Community Garden
Metta Threads
Metta Tea We support the cultivation of ecological sustainability with the practices of organic farming and gardening, permaculture, alternative and appropriate energy technologies including solar and wind power, composting systems, green building, and locally sourced hand crafts. Exploration for a renewed stewardship between land and people comes from such models as Community Land Trust (CLT) and Community Supported Agriculture (C.S.A.). These structures help to reduce our ecological footprint. We also look to the Earth Charter as a global document guiding us to create a just, sustainable and peaceful future. We infuse these principles and ways of living with community process practices such as consensus, council, and attunement as a forum for collaborative inquiry. The interweaving of an enlivened contemplative consciousness with the ecology of daily life nourishes the sensitivity to earth and its inhabitants renewing a compassion for all life.
