A Home for Transformational Learning

Whidbey Institute stewards an ecosystem for conscious and equitable living, dedicated to addressing the urgent and converging crises of our time—climate change, social injustice, economic instability, and global disconnection. Rooted in compassion and sustainable practices, we create spaces for healing, personal growth, and collective action. For over 50 years, our work has fostered deep community connection and ecological stewardship, empowering individuals to mindfully nurture themselves, society, and the planet. We stand committed to building an inclusive, equitable future for both present and future generations, offering a sanctuary for rewilding and reconnection in a world in need.

A large circular room set up for a meditation or group circle, with chairs arranged in a circle on a wooden floor, each with a pillow or mat in front of it. There is a central area with additional cushions or mats, and a view of tall windows with lush greenery outside.

Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that we gather on the ancestral homelands of the Coastal Salish Peoples, who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial and have hunted, fished, gathered, and taken care of these lands. We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and we honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water. Please join us in expressing our deepest respect and gratitude to the indigenous people of this territory and for their enduring care and protection of the land in which we currently occupy and share through the Treaty of Point Elliott signed by 82 tribes in Múckl-te-óh (Mukilteo) on January 22, 1855.
