In the spring of 2025, Landwell’s co-stewarding partner, the Innovative Learning and Living Institute (ILALI), received a multi-year grant from the NoVo Foundation, helping stabilize and deepen the work unfolding at Landwell. Together, these commitments wove both land and people, creating a stronger foundation for what is emerging here—rooted in care, continuity, and long-term responsibility to place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6364757e9255222bd3cd8951/29a81bd9-4ac0-480a-aafc-bb1c976a111e/IMG_6181.jpg Updates - Building Community at Landwell - Deepening Community Partnerships Relationship, Belonging and Kin Last year we convened KinQuest, a half-day gathering that brought together Landwell residents, local community supporters, retreat center leaders, and allies for shared learning, conversation, and a meal on the land. KinQuest helped translate Landwell’s vision into lived experience and offered a tangible way to feel what stewardship, relationship, and belonging look like in practice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6364757e9255222bd3cd8951/e1df67f9-a51d-4f3a-9a3f-e394a5156196/IMG_8638.png Updates - Building Community at Landwell - Cultivating Shared Governance As Landwell continues to mature, so does how we care for and govern the land together. Over the past year, the newly formed Landwell Housing Cooperative deepened its internal governance while also helping form the Kinship Council—a co-stewardship body including the Housing Cooperative, ILALI, and Living Lands Trust, held in relationship with the Land itself. This work reflects a commitment to governance that is relational, place-rooted, and oriented toward long-term care. It also reflects a shared understanding that the land itself is an active teacher and steward—shaping how we listen, decide, and respond. Landwell is both a place and a community-of-communities, grounded in a larger vision of supporting regenerative and equitable ways of living during these tumultuous—and often initiatory—times. As residents, we are on our own Wayfinding journeys, learning how to live well with land, difference, and uncertainty, so that we may better support others walking similar paths. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6364757e9255222bd3cd8951/1770150010873-O5LHCC7B10F0Q6E7U15D/Screenshot+2026-01-29+at+11.33.50%E2%80%AFPM.png Updates - Building Community at Landwell - Make it stand out Created by artist Mari Shibuya https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6364757e9255222bd3cd8951/92e599f2-db18-4b47-bd00-8affea6fb174/IMG_1833%281%29.png Updates - Building Community at Landwell - Loving the Land, Together Throughout the year, Landwell continued to host Land Loves—residential and community land-tending days that support the health, beauty, and vitality of the land and HeartSeed Farm. These days weave together hands-in-the-soil work with art, music, education, and shared meals, cultivating a culture of care that is both practical and relational. In support of this work, Landwell received a second grant from Ma Earth, strengthening our capacity for land restoration and regenerative agriculture at HeartSeed Farm. This funding supports soil health, ecological resilience, and food systems rooted in reciprocity with place—deepening Landwell’s role as a living demonstration of regenerative stewardship. Through collaborations with SoundWell, MaMuse, BeeHive Learning Center, ILALI, and others, Landwell has remained a place for place-based learning, creative expression, and community gathering—where care for land and care for one another meet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6364757e9255222bd3cd8951/499b3e43-7e0d-4872-96ef-80324699a0a5/IMG_3729.jpg Updates - Building Community at Landwell - HeartSprung Tongues ILALI hosts Heart Sprung Tongues - a recurring storytelling and performance gathering that blends poetry, music, ritual, and open mic, creating space for shared voice, beauty, and truth-telling in relationship with land and community.
