A Living Ecosystem in
Southeast Austin
Our project is nestled within a vibrant forest, offering a diverse landscape where the natural world serves as the primary backdrop for discovery. Far from the noise of the city, this sanctuary provides the peace and physical freedom necessary for deep focus and exploration.
The Geodesic Dome
The heart of our environment is the Green Dome—a unique structure that blends innovative design with the organic beauty of the woods. It serves as:
-
A Sanctuary: A calm, protected space for reflection, storytelling, and quiet work.
-
The Hub: A central gathering place for community circles and collaborative projects.
-
The Inquiry Lab: A weather-protected space for STEM exploration, cooking, and creative arts.

Beyond the Dome, the land offers endless opportunities for growth. Our participants engage in active stewardship and exploration through:
-
The Garden: Our seasonal garden is a hands-on laboratory for biology and patience. Participants engage in the full cycle of growth—from seed-starting and soil health to harvesting fresh ingredients for our communal meals.
-
Our Chickens: Children learn the rhythms of animal husbandry and responsibility. From collecting eggs to understanding behavior, the flock provides daily lessons in empathy and care.
-
The Bees: Our apiary serves as a window into the world of pollinators. Participants observe the vital role bees play in our ecosystem, fostering a deep respect for the balance of nature.
-
The Forest: We navigate winding trails and shaded groves, building physical resilience and environmental literacy through every season.
