    Overview

    CIRENAS exists to create transformative connections between people and the environment through education, research, integration and innovation. We share values of: Living by Nature’s Principles, Growing Through Experience, Stewarding through Collaboration, Cultural Immersion and Empowerment, Deep Ecology and Dynamic Sustainability Through Community, and Purpose and Belief.

    Given that our partnership is rooted in physical development, we seek to honor our relationship with land and community through the “Story of Place” process. We will approach all design, development and interaction with the land through a deep read of the natural surroundings, including its community or history to uncover the living narrative or the “essence” of the “place”.

    Participation: We invite students, volunteers, families, conscientious global citizens, researchers, retreats and interest groups to engage with CIRENAS' working model for sustainable development and environmental conservation - cultivating the skills, practices and knowledge base required to reduce humanity's heavy footprint on the Earth.
