HOST YOUR EVENT AT THE LIVING CENTRE



Established in 1983, The Living Centre (TLC) has evolved into an eco-spiritual sanctuary, cultivating profound connections with nature and offering transformative programs rooted in environmental stewardship, human well-being, and the legacy for future generations.
Four decades ago, the landscape that holds The Living Centre was mostly barren, devoid of native grasses and trees. Under the careful stewardship of Lorenna and Shantree, TLC has emerged as a living testament to nature’s resilience and artistry, now proudly boasting the region’s highest recorded biodiversity.
TLC has evolved into a diverse ecological classroom, offering a range of in-person and online workshops, events, as well as certification and diploma courses. These educational opportunities allow students to immerse themselves in a living example of nature’s resilience and artistry, gaining valuable insights and skills for sustainable living and careers.
The foundation of TLC’s educational approach is holistic, blending insights from in-depth studies of nature, contemporary science, ancient traditions, and a profound inquiry into life’s mysteries. TLC remains committed to its mission of deepening connections with nature and is now broadening its scope to collaborate with external partners and event organizers.
