Bicycle the beautiful coast and mountains of Santa Cruz, California.  Visit organic farms, sustainable vineyards, and ecological homes. Taste varieties of wines, herb teas, juices, tomatoes, honeycomb, and more.

Models of sustainability invite you in to share their passion about living gently on this Earth. Experienced local guides show you the best cycling roads of the area, offering both relaxing and challenging options.

Start the day with yoga and finish it with a massage. At dinner we put the day's discoveries into context, digesting ideas as we refuel our bodies.  Then back to our community room for conversation or a guest speaker. Or early to bed with one of our many sustainability-oriented books or podcasts.

At the end of the week, you will have explored the most beautiful back roads of Santa Cruz County, been nourished with the finest foods of the area, and seen a cornucopia of ways to live sustainably ... as a pleasure, not a sacrifice. If even a few of these practices become part of your life, we will have succeeded.
