Welcome to The Living Centre
Regenerating Earth, Body & Spirit since 1983
For over four decades The Living Centre has been a sanctuary of remembrance, a place where body, Earth, and spirit meet in harmony. On 50 acres of forest, meadow, and gardens near London, Ontario, this living classroom invites people to reawaken their belonging within the greater web of life.
Founded by Lorenna Bousquet-Kacera and Shantree Kacera, The Living Centre offers pathways of regeneration and transformation rooted in eco spiritual teachings. Each program and gathering is an invitation to return to the wisdom of the Earth, to realign with the forces that sustain us, and to step into a life of deeper connection, vitality, and love.
Core Ethics
-
Reverence for Life
We honour all life as sacred. Every being, human, plant, animal, and elemental, is part of an interconnected web. We live with deep respect for the Earth and the Spirit that flows through all things.
-
Right Relationship
We strive to live in harmony with ourselves, with others, and with the natural world. This means acting with integrity, humility, and care in all we do.
-
Regeneration in Action
We are committed to practices that restore, replenish, and renew. From how we grow food to how we welcome guests, we seek to live in a way that supports the flourishing of all life, now and for future generations.

& Shantree Kacera, RH, DN, Ph.D.
For over 50 years Lorenna and Shantree have dedicated their lives to ecological, human, and spiritual well being. Their Earth centred teachings draw from ancient wisdom, deep ecology, and eco somatics, reminding us that we are an inseparable part of the living web of life and inspiring the courage to live with joy, purpose, and responsibility.
Through The Living Centre and beyond their work invites us to awaken to the extraordinary intelligence of nature and to embody a way of living rooted in regeneration, harmony, and love for future generations.
