Our building projects focus on cutting edge, ecological, creative building techniques using reclaimed, recycled materials and offer free community workshops that teach essential skills while building community resilience and connection. These buildings serve as an educational example as well as offer a unique natural experience to our guests. The main building focus this year was the forest temple, which will be used forretreats, classes, meditation and more. We also began building our research lab, which supports our primary science pillar and is an essential part of the research institute. Coongie Research Institute 2024 Cost: $55,723.92 Number Served: At the heart of our organization is the Coongie Center, which is our center of operations and the land around it, once known as The University of the Trees, that we are responsible for stewarding and regenerating. We are in the process of transforming it into a retreat center, educational center, research institute, ashram, community commons and more. This year we finally were able to rebuild the roof and start repairing damages from the 2023 storms. Farm program 2024 Cost: $28, 597.75 Number Served: We do regenerative work to preserve and restore this land and to produce and harvest healthy food, plant starts and seeds that we offer for free along with permaculture workshops and cooking classes to give our community the opportunity to eat and grow healthy food.
