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.

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 time he read countless books, attended workshops, volunteered, worked, foraged, and observed ecosystems across the country.

Sean set down roots in the Wenatchee Valley in 2023, just a mountain range away from his original home of Seattle.

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.

In his free time, Sean can be found at his homestead/farm/abode repairing a 100 year old house and experimenting with the landscape. He also enjoys playing ball sports, studying land stewardship philosophies, and foraging for wild foods and seeds.

Sean is very passionate about ecological stewardship and believes it can solve all the world’s “problems”. Let’s make it happen.
