LEC History (top)
Lisa founded Living Earth Circle in Ashland, Oregon 1999 to catalyze and celebrate the positive transformation of individuals, the community, and the planet. The group began by offering public seasonal celebrations incorporating experiential and performance art ceremonies. It soon grew to offering performance art ceremonies for a multitude of community events facilitating social and environmental responsibility. Living Earth Circle’s early projects also included sponsoring ‘EarthKids’, a children’s environmental group started by Njyhalo Pavati, Lisa’s son, who was 7 years old at the group’s inception.

Current Projects and Community Service (top)
Today Lisa Pavati and Living Earth Circle host several annual community events as well as an ongoing experiential training and personal growth program on Women’s Earth-based Spirituality and Sacred Expressive Arts.

The annual Grandmother Council Community Conference honors the women elders of our community and creates a unique forum for their wisdom and expertise to be shared. The event is open to everyone and features a public Council of Women Elders, a broad spectrum of workshops on personal wellness and social and environmental responsibility, and an Honoring Ceremony for “Women of Age and Wisdom”. Living Earth Circle sponsors an open ongoing council of women elders as an exciting offshoot of our annual Conference.

The Annual Labyrinth Walk is a Three-day Community Sacred Celebration (Dec. 29- Jan.1) featuring 72 hours of beautiful sacred music and meditative silence.

We also support many other community events (such as Mother’s Day Pow Wow and Cultural Arts Fair) with ceremony and sacred performance art.
