What we do

Springhouse was founded in 2014 in the Blue Ridge mountains of Floyd County, Virginia and is one example of what can happen when this model is used to create regenerative culture.
The Springhouse community envisions a world where all life thrives. We believe that taking care of Life, one person and community at a time, can eventually bring the larger culture we live in back to health. Springhouse is an intergenerational vitality-centered learning community in Southwest Virginia where we are fundamentally transforming the purpose and practice of education.
To move toward a world where all life thrives, we practice the following principles in our local and global community: take care of vulnerability, cultivate personhood, build beloved community, learn from the Earth, and love and serve others. We share our learning with others by participating in our local community, distributing media made in our print shop, and supporting others to start learning communities around the world.
Springhouse is supported by the contributions of our community members and those who share our vision. No one is turned away from our offerings due to a lack of funds.
