Embercombe
Description
Reconnecting people to nature, community and themselves through transformative experiences. Our Five Guiding Principles:
The Children’s Fire
The Children’s Fire is part of the Earth teachings of the elders of ancient America. Over time the elders came to understand that all human-created institutions needed to reflect the balance and wisdom observed in nature. The Children’s Fire was a reminder of the first promise: No law, no action of any kind, shall be taken that will harm the children seven generations hence.
The Twin Trail
We invite people to follow the ‘twin trail’ of inner healing and spiritual deepening and of outer action to change the world. By uncovering our true gifts, responsibilities and passions we are able to bring ourselves fully to the world, leading ourselves and others on a path of positive action.
Connection
Connection to nature, community and ourselves underpins everything we do at Embercombe. By connecting to the very essence of what it means to be human, we will be more effective communicators and leaders for change.
Sustainability
We strive to live sustainably on the land, growing much of our own biodynamic food, managing our waste using compost loos and supporting our electricity use with solar power. We still have a long way to go to become fully sustainable, but every year brings new ideas and progress.
Community
From our Core Team who live permanently at Embercombe, to the volunteers who stay for a few months and everyone that visits us for a programme, the joy we feel by connecting as a community is ever present and binds us to a common purpose of living co-operatively together in harmony with nature and the land.
