About the Founder
Sage Lampros
Creative Director
Green Seed Arts is held by Sage Lampros, creative director and vision steward. An artist and educator with a long-established inner compass for affecting positive change, Sage brings roots woven in permaculture, expressive arts, social ecology, therapeutic horticulture, and optimistic new paradigm thinking such as in The Work That Reconnects.
More than anything, this work is born of a deep love for the Earth and a belief that human thriving must be woven back into the fabric of living systems.
We Are You
Green Seed Arts is committed to practices of equitable inclusion across constructed social heirarchies that cause harm in our culture. Please inquire to explore Community Care Pricing.
Tending Tiny Seeds of regeneration
Green Seed Arts is rooted in Santa Cruz, California. All of our offerings are free to members of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, in recognition of their enduring relationship to this land and the ongoing impacts of colonization. We honor their care and resilience, and invite you to learn more at www.amahmutsunlandtrust.org
