About the Culture Artist Organization

The Culture Artist Organization is an educational organization dedicated to promoting sustainability and self-sufficiency. We do this through educational programs and advocacy. The chief mission and vision of the Culture Artist Organization is to create Culture Artists. A Culture Artist is a person who is working to reshape the culture towards a paradigm shift to a more sustainable lifestyle. Deep Ecology is the principle that humanity cannot be separated from the environment; that human beings and nature are one and the same. Somewhere along the way, humankind seems to have forgotten that we aren't separate from nature. Since our culture at present revolves more around material wealth and accumulation than family, friends and the environment around us, some of us feel that we need to modify our culture to make room for nature; to return to our roots. Those of us who use the principles of Deep Ecology to make cultural change are artists working with the medium of culture itself: We are Culture Artists, working to change the world for the better. The long-term goal of the Culture Artist Organization is to create a sustainable community, called Forest Moon Ecovillage. When this community is built, it will exist as an example of what is possible with sustainable technology and the principles of mental, physical, spiritual and emotional self-sufficiency. It will be an educational institution for future Culture Artists. It will also be a place where those who could not otherwise afford a home will be able to learn how to build their own homes  in sustainable ways, using natural materials.
