About.

Sirius Community is a non-profit educational organization offering sustainable living programs for the public, and a spiritual community demonstrating attunement to nature and ecologically based lifestyles. With a balance of inspired youth and wise elders, people find the support they need as they engage in personal growth, sustainable building, permaculture gardening, saunas, sacred celebration, meditation, potlucks, and more. Features a creative cob house, community center, sacred swamp, stone circle and labyrinth.

We offer an Immersion Program, in which participants are immersed in the community. They learn alternative ways to living and working in the material world through hands-on work each morning and afternoon classes in community engagement, conscious cooking, wholeness, medicinal plant cultivation, and more. Explore fun expressions of our collective creative vision together. Earn college credit through the University of Massachusetts. Experience the growth internally that creates opportunities for the physical healing of the planet!
