Institute for Urban Homesteading!

Below is a great organization that is a piece of Transition East Bay. They are creating solutions within regenerative urban landscapes. Value is being added to the land and the quality of life of the people taking part. It is collaborative, healing, and inspirational.

Effective change is doable when simple steps are taken toward a sustainable vision!

Welcome to the Institute for Urban Homesteading!
The Urban Homestead classroom is a gathering place to research, ferment and learn together. We feature small class sizes and experiential learning.

Our mission is to
* Offer affordable classes in the art of living in an urban environment
* Preserve a slower, more intentional, more sustainable and more pleasurable way of life
* Rescue the lost arts of the garden, the kitchen and things done by hand
* Imbue everyday tasks with wonder and beauty
* Promote self-determination and the ability of each person to educate themselves
