About WSPIR | Colorado Permaculture Sanctuary & Farm

---

 A Colorado nonprofit called to regenerate land, restore community, and inspire new perspectives. 

WSPIR is a nonprofit organization in Rifle, Colorado, dedicated to building a permaculture sanctuary and regenerative farm on the West Slope of the Rocky Mountains.

We blend permaculture design, community learning, and retreat programming to create a living example of regenerative agriculture — a place where land heals, people grow, and new perspectives take root.

Our 501(c)(3) status is pending with the IRS, and we operate with full transparency and responsible stewardship of every donation, every volunteer hour, and every seed planted.

A thriving permaculture retreat center and regenerative farm in Rifle, Colorado — where people come to learn, heal, and carry regenerative practices back to their own communities.

A sanctuary where land, people, and purpose meet.

We started with land that most people ignored — dry, tired, and forgotten. But we saw something different: a sanctuary waiting to be born.

Step by step, we are turning neglected soil into a living ecosystem: ponds, swales, food forests, and future retreat spaces.

This is not just a project. It’s a long‑term commitment to the land and the people who will walk it.

 Our Mission   At WSPIR, our mission is to regenerate land, rebuild community, and restore human dignity through permaculture and regenerative agriculture in Rifle, Colorado. We believe every person deserves a place where they feel safe, supported, and connected to the earth. Every project we build, every tree we plant, and every retreat we host is designed to help people heal, learn, and rediscover hope. This sanctuary is more than land — it’s a living promise to our community and the Rocky Mountains we call home.
