Lost Valley Educational Center

The nonprofit educational center is dedicated to the practices of nonviolent communication and personal growth, permaculture, sustainability, and simple living.

Its mission is to create and foster mutually beneficial relations between humans and all parts of the web of existence.

Some of the natural features on the land are gardens, a large meadow, forests, ponds, and a creek.

For years the main educational focus of Lost Valley was a heart-centered workshop program called, "Naka Ima" which evolved into an evolutionary interpersonal growth workshop called, Heart of Now, which is currently run off-site, in the city of Eugene.

Lost Valley is one of several intentional ecovillage communities in Oregon, including Aprovecho research center, located in the outskirts of Cottage Grove; Cougar Mountain Farms and Maitreya Ecovillage located in nearby Eugene.
