Sean Eriksen

Sean is obsessed with watercycle restoration, permaculture, regenerative land stewardship, agroforestry, indigenous land stewardship practices, and anything related to living better with the land. For most of his life he has been puzzled by modern humans and our way of relating to the land and water that we depend on for survival.

In 2020 he traveled by way of his minivan tiny-home around the U.S., work-trading with homesteaders, farmers, ranchers, foragers, herbalists, permaculturists, foresters, hunters, natural builders, watercycle restoration practitioners, intentional communities, and more.

During this period he read countless books, attended workshops, watched videos, volunteered, worked, foraged, and observed ecosystems across the country

Before starting Shelter and Seeds, Sean held positions as:

• Landscape Manager for the Wenatchee River Institute

• Designer and Steward of the Sleeping Lady Mountain Resort Food Forest

• Permaculture Landscape Designer and Installer for Regenerative Gardens ATX

• Volunteer for Festival Beach Community Food Forest

• Natural Builder with Earth Homes

• Market Gardener with Sunshine Farms

• Watercycle Earthworks Intern in Ettersburg, CA.

Sean set down roots in the Wenatchee Valley in 2023, just a mountain range away from his original home of Seattle. In his free time, Sean enjoys experimenting with his 2.5 homestead/farm/plot of land he gets to steward, playing ball sports, studying land management philosophies, and foraging for wild foods and seeds.

Sean is super grateful to host this business as a vessel to hopefully improve the world through ecological stewardship, and he looks forward to working alongside others with similar goals.
