Commonly Asked Questions

The Living Centre is an eco-spiritual education sanctuary dedicated to regenerative living, holistic health, and Earth-connected wisdom. Located in London, Ontario, it has been stewarded for over 45 years by Shantree Kacera and Lorenna Bousquet-Kacera.
The Living Centre weaves together regenerative living, permaculture, herbalism, eco-spirituality, Ayurveda, movement, and deep ecology into a cohesive way of life. Our offerings are rooted in embodied learning, guided by the seasons, and grounded in both ancient wisdom and modern understanding. Everything we do is designed to nourish personal, ecological, and cultural renewal.

Each offering speaks to different aspects of personal and ecological renewal. Some focus on the practical skills of regenerative living, others invite deep inner work, and many weave both. We invite you to explore Our Programs or Our Calendar, listen to what calls you, and reach out if you’d like guidance in choosing a path that aligns with where you are right now.
Workshops are focused skill-building experiences, often 1 to 3 days. Retreats are immersive, often combining rest, regeneration, and ritual. Mentorships offer in-depth guidance over several weeks or months with personal support, connection, and deeper transformation.
