Summer Intensive Program
Solutions from the Grassroots

Are you ready to make positive, meaningful change in the world?

Community Transformations is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to live a wholesome lifestyle, build community, enact genuine sustainability, develop a powerful social vision, vitalize body, mind and spirit, and have fun making the world a better place.

Come to Eugene, Oregon, this summer for a five-week intensive experience participating with engaged people who are transforming their own neighborhood into a more sustainable, resilient, livable place from the ground up, one seed at a time.

Community Transformations will challenge you to integrate body, mind, heart, and spirit in service to all living beings, and empower you with knowledge, skills, vision, and strategies for generating authentic, solution-oriented change from the grassroots.

Because we are the ones we have been waiting for, and the time is now

I learned more in two weeks than I learned in four years of college.

To see a vital community in action was not only inspiring but a lesson in information exchange. With every week of participation, I was introduced to new community members, each with vital and intriguing knowledge to share. The information and skills shared through this network in this way, face-to-face, feet-to-earth, hands-to-tool, was exceptionally deep and enriching.
