Sharavathi Rainforest Centre
This centre is being set up a space where children and youth can experience a rainforest and to learn to value and connect with wilderness. Programmes to explore the connections between ones inner psychological patterns and how we can attempt to align ourselves in many ways with principles of Nature, such as the one on ‘Deep Ecology’ are also held here.
This centre is also available as a base for students doing research in the Western Ghats area. We also plan to start an arborium at this centre, to grow the more endangered species of trees of the Western Ghats.
Bhoomi Rural Research and Education Centre, Gumalapuram
This is a centre that is being developed in Gummalapuram Village in Krishnagiri district, Tamil Nadu to provide space for holistic learning for students from rural areas.

This will also be a centre for learning about building with mud, bamboo and recycled products.
