The Occidental Arts & Ecology Center (OAEC) is an 80-acre research, demonstration, education, advocacy and community-organizing center in West Sonoma County, California that develops strategies for regional-scale community resilience.
OAEC hosts retreats and strategic planning meetings for organizations, networks, public agencies and other groups working towards social and ecological justice. In a typical year, the Center receives over 3,000 additional visitors for our courses, volunteer days, site tours and organic plant nursery. Thousands more benefit from our organizing campaigns, public presentations, heirloom seed swaps, and consulting services.
We offer public tours April - October every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month at 1pm and welcome you to join us every Wednesday from 10am-5pm for garden volunteer day. Please note that our site is otherwise not open to the public for drop-in visitors. Visit our website oaec.org to learn about taking a permaculture design course, bringing your like-minded organization here on retreat, or many more ways to get involved.
