Solar Living Institute

The Solar Living Center opened a 12 acre educational site in Hopland California, and for 25 years served as a innovator and hands-on educator to promote sustainable practices for a healthier earth. In 2020, the site was closed due to the pandemic and other factors and is now experiencing a rebirth. Members of the original Center community as well as a new generation are now coming together to plan for and reimagine the future. The center was at the forefront of technology and practices we now take for granted. The challenges of the environmental crisis that inspired the return to the land movement and focus on sustainability have only increased since its founding. We believe that that the original mission of the center, updated now to the environmental realities of our time, is more important than ever.
