Practical education now for a sustainable future

Path to Freedom offers a wide range of events: classes in sustainability; film screenings; lectures and workshops.

We design our events not only as an opportunity to learn, but also as an occasion to build a community network of like-minded people who can inspire and support one another in their quest for sustainable choices and a simpler way of living.

We endeavor to make our events as "eco- friendly" as possible with solar (or other "alternative and green") electricity, oil lamps, candles, biodiesel fueled torches, and a "low or zero waste policy" by providing reusable or compostable plates, cups, and utensils to ensure there is no unnecessary waste.

All other waste (i.e., plastic wrappers, glass bottles, food containers, etc) and food scraps are recycled, reused, composted or fed to Path to Freedom's pet chickens , goats and ducks. {Read more about zero waste events }

We have successfully held events with attendance of 100+ plus and have had a simple, small grocery bag leftover of trash which is usually recyclable in the city's recycling bin.

Path to Freedom's goal is to be a real-life working model for an ecologically sustainable lifestyle and to share the skills, motivation and ideas behind that lifestyle with fellow travelers.
