*About Earthlands:*
Located near the Quabbin Reservoir in central Massachusetts, and
surrounded by 4,000 acres of state-protected forest, Earthlands’ private
setting is ideal for a broad range of gatherings. Far away from the hum
of vehicles and the business of modern life, Earthlands lends itself to
deep personal reflection, group development, and self-directed learning
with the Earth.

Earthlands has served as an Earth-based education facility and a retreat
center for personal transformation programs for over 25 years. With its
wide range of accommodations and amenities, the property has supported
college and university courses; retreats for organizations and
individuals; festive seasonal gatherings; conferences, trainings, and
workshops. The Lodge is also home to the /University of the Wild/.

*The Land:*
Earthlands is located on Nipmuk land of the First Nations People. It was
relatively peaceful territory for over 8,000 years. Evidence of this
Earth-connected culture still stands, at the Equinox Underground
Chambers*. The blend of ancient stonework and recent installations of a
Medicine Circle, Seven-Circuit Cretan Labyrinth, cairns, and standing
stones add to the sacredness of the property. Early European settlers
removed the primitive forest around 1730. Many Colonial-era trees remain.


The pastures in front of the main lodge are endowed with rich soil and
geological formations, where gardens and wildlife flourish. Just beyond
the open land, a healthy northern hardwood forest shelters coyotes,
raccoon, fox, rabbit, porcupine, bobcat, deer, and moose. Cardinal Brook
meanders through the property to the Quabbin Reservoir.

*The abutting Equinox Underground Chambers are part of the 30-acre John
Seed Woods and Nipmuck Meadow parcel, which are open to the public but
separate from the property up for sale.

The large off-grid, passive solar Main Lodge was built in 1987 with
local lumber & labor to provide facilities for program participants.
