Collaborators & *Regenepreneur We are always looking to connect with skilled, energetic people who have an interest in collaborating with others who care about regeneration and what it means to create a healthy Earth community.   The Living Centre is a 50 acre, Eco-spiritual organic Permaculture centre.
