Spiral Living Center

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization committed to promoting sustainable living skills in the Illinois Valley of Southern Oregon since 2006.

One of the most valuable experiences for us has been the journey of finding right relationship with the environment that we are inextricably woven. We are passionate about being homesteaders and stewards of Southern Oregon, and sharing knowledge specific to this area.
