Our mission:
RESTORING A COOPERATIVE BALANCE
we elevate healing spaces by
ACTING TOGETHER,
between humanity and nature
TO EMPOWER US ALL .
THIS IS A MOVEMENT
YOU can help bring back empowering balance with nature.
for centered clarity
Go to where you can know nature's healing, whether that's at home, close to home, or away.
with those most dear
When working with nature for good health, sharing with loved ones can soothe your soul.
in hope and love for all
Act with others to renew human capability in concert with nature. Show your hope.
BUT WHY NOW?
Because the pandemic brought on trauma, malnutrition and isolation.
