FRIENDS of APPALACHIA
Friends of Appalachia, LTD
Mission Statement
To promote a well-rounded healthy lifestyle for the rural Appalachian population by
integrating the best of the existing healthy and bio-sustainable practices, using newer and
proven low-cost modalities. These modalities include but are not limited to permaculture,
organic gardening, programs on disease prevention, nutrition, (healthy eating), yoga,
therapeutic massage, and meditation. To accomplish this, we intend to establish learning
centers, where individuals can study and experience various techniques for healthy
sustainable living. The centers will be located throughout the Appalachian Region to
provide resources and guidance to all those we serve.
Our programs include:
- Educational Classroom Seminars.
- Hands-On Experiential Teaching.
- Sustainable Living Lifestyle and Philosophy.
We believe, with the increasing population of this geographical region, it is imperative to
prepare and to create a sustainable lifestyle for individuals in this area while developing
self-confidence independence. All with the intent of preserving the cultural and
ecological environment in which they interact with others on a daily basis.
