Industrial agriculture has resulted in a loss of biodiversity, environmental crises, reduced resilience, increased world hunger, and an over-reliance on a globalized food system. On top of that misinformation and manipulation by this corporate agenda leaves people sick and ill-informed. At Organic Growers School (OGS) we believe that the solution to these problems lies in the relocalization of organic food production. From small to medium sized farmers to the growing of orchards, gardens, and chickens in every yard to foraging the nutritious bounty of the region, we can live happier, healthier, and more connected lives by reclaiming organic food production.
Lee Warren has been the Executive Director (ED) of Organic Growers School (OGS), a 501c3 non-profit based in Asheville, NC, since 2013. She is a sustainability professional with twenty five years of experience envisioning, designing, and living innovative solutions to organic food systems, community, and sustainability education.
Lee is a death and tantra educator, somatic guide, writer, mystic, and community builder. She is also the author of Dying Together: The Art of Community Deathcare.
Lee’s work lies at the intersection of death and Tantra, which encourages us to use the vehicle of our bodies to explore the blueprint of our own divinity. As we deepen into this inner marriage—the union of spirit and matter—we discover the blend of both the practical and quantum mysteries that allows us to dwell in the awe of our near-impossible existence.
Her rich and varied life experiences—from three decades of ecovillage living, leadership in the sustainable agriculture world, and her devotional Tantric path—have primed her for guiding the inquiry into the generative life/death/life mysteries.
For more than a decade, she has offered courses on end-of-life preparation, grief rituals, and community-based living—all woven in and around the teachings of sacred embodiment.
Her goal is to empower people to transform the fear of mortality into intimacy with themselves and the generous moment.
