Earth Honey Haven
A nexus for consciousness evolution, global healing and beauty, Earth Honey Haven was founded in 2010 by women leaders of sustainable future organizations, Evolver.net (Bay Area) and Empowerment WORKS. The Haven is now an official program of Empowerment WORKS (EW), advancing EW's global mission of mutually-supportive collaboration towards a healthy, sustainable future.
Rooted in joyful co-creation, overlooking the City (SF), Golden Gate bridge and surrounded by miles of the East Bay's most breath-taking nature preserves and hiking trails, Earth Honey Haven holds space for personal healing and social innovation creating grassroots-led cultural evolution. Through conscious living, cultural events and educational workshops, we co-create, support, and connect projects that weave these values into the surrounding community. Earth Honey is located on the tippy top of the ridge-line in the Oakland Hills, surrounded by pine and redwoods, frequented by hummingbirds, squirrels, and fairies.
