Welcome! My name is Lara Lwin Treadaway. In 2015 I set out on the road driving fossil fuel free in a vintage school bus that had been converted to run on recycled waste vegetable oil (WVO), bringing my community healing work to groups and communities throughout Oregon and California. I create and facilitate circles, workshops, trainings, and land-based retreats to cultivate connection, creativity, and resilience in our deeply uncertain and rapidly changing world, offering my work within a gifting paradigm to make it accessible to all incomes. In demonstrating a lifestyle of voluntary simplicity, sustainability, and joyful service I hope to inspire others to seek alternatives to our modern way of life that has caused so much environmental devastation, social injustice, and spiritual desolation in our beloved world. If you feel inspired by this project please explore this website and consider offering your support.
UPDATE:
This project is currently on hold due to the COVID19 pandemic.
Thank you for your interest!
