Earth Link provides an opportunity for people who are concerned about the future of Earth to reflect on their concern and move towards action. Earth Link has a particular emphasis on why we need to care for Earth, and also on the importance of beginning with our place, and then extending our concern outwards to regional and global concerns.

People of all ages who are concerned about the future of Earth, including parents, grandparents, educators, helping professionals, environmentalists. Earth Link will be of special benefit to those who are interested in ecospirituality and sustainable living.

This community environment centre provides you the opportunity, unique in Australia, to avail of:

• A place, Four Winds, where you can immerse yourself in nature
• A community of people who share your concerns for Earth
• Accommodation and gathering spaces
• Education program
• Ecospirituality
• Processes for Living as if Earth Matters
• Consultants to design and conduct workshops, rituals, retreats, processes
• A borrowing library.

We envision a future where there is a culture of respect, reverence and care for earth.

Earth Link at Four Winds encourages connectedness between people and Earth. It does this through education, ecospirituality, promotion of biodiversity and sustainable living, and action for justice for Earth.

• We appreciate the wonder and beauty of our Universe, our Earth and all its beings.
• We are concerned for the well being of all species, not just the human.
• We believe that the Universe reveals the divine.
• We recognise that Earth displays the characteristics of a living organism, that it has value in itself, and that we humans are one with it.
• We recognise that the interdependence of a variety of life forms (biodiversity) underpins the processes that make life possible.
• We acknowledge the importance of biodiversity for cultural identity, spiritual enrichment and leisure.
• We recognise that Earth's resources are finite, and that we need to be responsible and ingenious in our use of them, now and into the future.
• We agree that no species, and no generation, has the right to claim Earth's resources solely for its own benefit.
