Ethos
Progress over perfection
We seek to meet people wherever they are, understanding that the application of regenerative principles and systems thinking is a journey.
Relationship bridge builders
We understand that true change does not occur in isolation. We commit to taking a holistic approach and embrace the complex relationships and connections that exist between all things.
Fostering hope
We recognize the vast and complex challenges that lay ahead but maintain a strong sense of optimism in the power of connected and collective action and its ability to catalyze meaningful change.
Rematriation of knowledge
We honor the wisdom of land stewards and ancestral ways that have come before us, and have a deep responsibility in the healing process of historical trauma. We view Earth as the mother-land.
