StarSeed

Starseed was founded in the fall of 1986 by the Ananda family.  The initial seed for this powerful vision was planted in 1974 in the south end of Boston at the opening of the Survival Co-Op and world Union center. After fourteen years of preparation in the city, the inner guidance came to leave the city and establish a healing center in western Massachusetts.  In July of 1986 after a long search, the Anandas were guided to an incredible piece of land in the small hill town of Savoy, located in the northern Berkshires.  This became the place of fulfilling the vision. The property consists of 130 acres and 6 buildings – a retreat house, the Ananda’s house, a barn, a carriage house, a workshop, and a cabin in the woods.  Over the years, extensive work has been done on the buildings and grounds, developing them into the present day retreat center and healing sanctuary.  Many people have joined the Anandas over the years as temporary stewards, living on the land for periods ranging from two weeks to two years.  A large part of the Starseed community has been and remains as an extended network of friends and supporters.
