Our mission is to foster individual and community well-being, connection to agrarian lifeways, and care for the earth by sharing skills and providing experiential learning opportunities.
Many Turtles Learning Collective was formed in 2025 from a group of Common Ground Ecovillage members to improve and expand educational offerings related to well-being, agrarian community, mutual-aid organizing, and nature connection. By hosting and facilitating classes, workshops, skill shares, retreats, internships, and learning cohorts, we hope to hold space for a flourishing experiential education hub to grow. We're all on this learning journey together. Remembering how to serve life and a regenerative future. Many turtles tending the turning
Common Ground Ecovillage is an agrarian intentional community, founded in 2012, with a deep commitment to environmental and social justice. It’s centered on 100-plus beautiful acres, including gardens and orchard, meadows and woodland, trails, streams and pond. Our goal is to develop a neighborhood and farm where we can help provide for ourselves and our families while giving back to the land and the larger communities, both human and more-than-human, that sustain us.
Full Table CSA is a farm business cooperatively led by five Common Ground Ecovillage members. They offer an organically grown, all-season CSA subscription, nutrition tips, and healthy recipes. From just 2 acres of cultivated land, the CSA distributes produce to over 75 households each week, year-round. Their mission is to practice small-scale ecological farming that is productive, accessible, and part of a larger shift in our food system so that we can help create happy and healthy communities from the soil up.
In 2026, Many Turtles Learning Collective would like to sponsor and facilitate a wide spectrum of workshops, retreats, classes, skills shares and more. Topics may include:
- Gardening
- Permaculture
- Herbal medicine
- Sociocracy
- Compassionate communication
- Natural building
- Carpentry
- Prescribed burning and conscious fire
- Pottery
- Blacksmithing
- Ecological literacy
- Forest bathing

- And more!
Please support us in the work of shared learning to grow regenerative culture.
