Sustainable Wellness + Integrative Health + Community = Healthy Earth

Sustainable wellness is co-creating a healthy community through teaching the inherent healing ability we each have within ourselves. We offer workshops, retreats, and ceremonies for you to learn and experience the healing power of nature through both traditional wisdom and scientific knowledge.

We believe that by bringing wellness to each of us, we embody our full potential of who we really are while creating positive life-changing experiences within OUR community!

Meet Our Facilitators

Brandy Gallagher

Brandy Gallagher

Brandy brings the team deep connectivity to people and places as a co-founder of O.U.R. ECOVILLAGE (1999). She was raised in a remote mountain wilderness and grew passionate about international exploration and indigenous wisdom and living. She is a weaver of the paradox perceptions between the wild and domesticated cultural norms. A healer and speaker of the ‘at times unspeakable’ patterns of human social interactions.

Her work in the therapeutic community began in the 1980s. It opened a path of personal and professional healing work that has brought her from project development to one on one.  She facilitates wedding celebrations, assists birthing, and does beside vigil hospice work. She is a published author and filmmaker, and her doctoral work focuses on exploring community development and design for healing through “Regeneration of the Village Heart and Mind.”

As a grounding tool for unlimited connection, Brandy works with sustainable living and legacy planning. She is a lover of playing on the edge of possibilities and crafted intention.
