The Spirit of the Gathering

by 1 Comment

From 12 – 17 May representatives from holistic centers in Canada, the US, UK, Italy, Iceland, Sri Lanka, China and Australia will be together for the annual Holistic Centers Gathering. This has taken place for over 35 years at different locations and in 2019 is being hosted by Hollyhock on the beautiful island of Cortes in British Colombia. Hollyhock exists to inspire, nourish and support people who are making the world better. It’s the ideal environment for our peer to peer learning community.

In 2018 Omega in upstate New York were the hosts and their digital team captured the spirit of the gathering in this 4 minute video. We welcome you on the journey with us as we prepare to gather once again. This year friends and colleagues from nearly 40 centers are meeting, with some folk joining for the first time as the Gathering continues to magnetise centers.

Holistic Living & Residential Community Programs: Omega, Findhorn, & Sirius

by Leave a Comment

By Samantha Halitzer

Holistic centers are not only places of learning, but more essentially, they offer sustenance to the curious soul. If you’re someone who has pursued interests in spirituality, environmentalism, meditation & yoga, healthy living, and the creative arts, holistic centers offer rich resources & opportunities for skill development, self-exploration, and meaningful connections with other inquiring minds.

My personal journey with education has been dynamic, and I found myself feeling that my academic career was not substantial in supporting my growth as a whole person. When I discovered holistic centers and ecovillages, they fed something in me that I had not found in other academic arenas and workplaces. [Read more…]

There is a planetary transformation of consciousness and these centers give people hope.
