ARCOORA IS A GRASSROOTS ORGANISATION
Our Vision:
An ecosystem of thriving regenerative communities living in harmony with the natural world
Our Purpose:
We exist to support the emergence of regenerative culture, so that humans remember that it is fun to care for the earth!
Our Mission:
Our mission is to inspire change for a regenerative future by cultivating a network of mentors, practitioners and leaders in the earth arts, caring for country and celebrating life!
Arcoora is a volunteer run not-for-profit community organisation focused on training, support and action towards community resilience and ecological regeneration.
We are engaging multiple streams of energy, both financial and in-kind, to enable and sustain our organisation.
Our fund-raising initiatives include venue hire, events, grants, micro-enterprise, micro-loans, crowd-funding and gifting.
To get to where we are today, Arcoora Incorporated, formerly Living ARC, has relied on 100% volunteer start-up. Volunteering is viewed as an opportunity to learn new skills and connect with like-minded kin whilst gifting work in service to a collective vision.
We share our home at the former Vajradhara Gonpa with partner organisations, with an intention to maintain connection with interfaith and cross-cultural spiritual and arts practices. We host groups who facilitate rites of passage, meditation retreats, conscious dance and art workshops, yoga retreats and more.
Our Objectives:
To breathe new life into the former Vajradhara Gonpa and grounds
To gather traces and stories of this place so that we may cherish and learn from that which came before us
To tend to the grounds, regenerating the surrounding wilderness according to best practices in land management and small scale agriculture
To host and offer immersive experiences for training, support and action in village-mindedness, bioregional resilience and ecological regeneration
To apply and share a variety of land management and small-scale agriculture practices for research and educational purposes
To collaborate and participate, locally, bioregionally and globally, with other similarly intentioned and aligned organisations and initiatives
To celebrate, share and record our work through multi-disciplinary arts initiatives
