‘Grace happens when we act with others on behalf of our world’
— Joanna Macy

 

Arcoora Incorporated is a not for profit community organisation for training, support and action in village-mindedness, bioregional resilience and ecological regeneration.

We listen to nature and show respect for the ancestors of this place - past, present and emerging, by stewarding the former Vajradhara Gonpa and surrounding wilderness according to ecological principles and values.


 
 

Arcoora applies best practices in holistic land management and small scale agriculture, transforming the former Vajradhara Gonpa and surrounding land and forest as a training ground for Earth Arts and Village-mindedness. Historically the site has long been identified as a wisdom school and sanctuary for cultural initiations.

The spirit work that has taken place here resounds.


 

 

Our Vision:

An ecosystem of thriving regenerative communities living in harmony with the natural world


Our Purpose:

We exist to support the emergence of regenerative culture, so that humans remember that it is fun to care for the earth!


Our Mission:

Our mission is to inspire change for a regenerative future by cultivating a network of mentors, practitioners and leaders in the earth arts, caring for country and celebrating life
