About Mark

Mark Moore is an educreator: an eco-social entrepreneur, designer, natural builder, experiential educator, composer-producer, writer-editor, and retreat facilitator.

Cofounder of the Earthville Institute in the US and of Dharmalaya Institute for Compassionate Living in the Himalayas, Mark has been launching and nurturing altruistic and creative projects around the world since 1997.

Mark’s main focus since 2010 has been developing immersive, contemplative service-learning programs integrating sustainability with inner development, catalyzing the empowerment of warm-hearted changemakers, and designing and building eco-campuses to host these experiences.

One of Mark’s greatest passions — both in his own projects and as a consultant — is the art and craft of compassionate cultural container-building. That is, the design, establishment and refinement of purpose-driven communities, organizations, and environments that embody the values and qualities they seek to promote. He draws on both traditional wisdom and fresh creativity to leverage the power of insightfully sculpted organizational cultures to bring out the best in the humans that comprise them and manifest more impactful and harmonious results.

Mark is a member of the leadership boards of Ronald E. Moore Foundation in the US, Jhamma Foundation in Switzerland, and other boards and advisory groups.

He also serves as a meditation retreat facilitator for Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche’s Tergar Learning Community and has volunteered for myriad educational and charitable projects worldwide since 1987.

Mark loves nature, music, and fair-trade vegan chocolate.

“If we understand sustainability in the context of the living world, the optimal solution doesn’t have to be about painful compromises, and it isn’t only about best practices. It's about uncovering the insight and enjoying the disciplines that, together, lead us to thrive while living in harmony with nature, with other beings, and with ourselves.”
