About Program
Earth Craft is an 8-week gap semester program for 18-26 year-olds, based at our two residential learning centers (Pompanuck Farm and Spirit Hollow) in the Taconic Mountains in the southwest corner of Vermont. This experiential learning immersion focuses on soul-centric personal development, cultivating practical living skills and enhancing deep connections to Earth, to create meaningful lives and life-enhancing communities. From organic gardening to ecological building, forest wanders to Buddhist meditation, wilderness tracking to herbalism, community building tools to movements for change, our team of resident-guides collectively draws from decades of experience in a range of crafts and skills, offering ongoing personal and small-group mentorship with a student to guide ratio of no more than 4 to 1.
We are now accepting applications for a maximum of 14 students.
Join us for an intimate and powerful experience that will support and shape your life for years to come.
