Worlds End School of Thought, Agriculture and Craft (WESTAC) is a communally organized, intergenerational earth school in the Mohawk Valley of New York State, 30 miles west of Albany.
Our mission is to bring people back to the life-world.
We believe that by orienting ourselves in deep ecological reciprocity we can loosen patterns that have led humans to isolation and disenchantment.
We believe that a network of 1 million small farms and land-based businesses could present a evolutionary path out of extractive capitalistic systems of oppression.
Our core values include:
respecting elders and building multi-generational communal systems.
curiosity, playfulness, and beauty as guides to finding joy and forging new systems for thriving
world-building with unbridled imagination: picking and choosing technological elements to construct strange and beautiful futures
Long form classes
Our first long form class is live–come out of hibernation this spring and join master stone worker Adam Fisher and vocalist Shay Nichols for six days of immersion learning the ancient craft of dry stone walling and connecting to the land and each other with the sound of our voices.
New Incubator Program
Starting in 2026, the Worlds End Incubator Program gives small land-based businesses a home to establish and grow.
