Relationships come first
Relationships are an essential focus of all that we do. We take time to connect individually, in community, and with the land.
We are a community weaving a web of heart intelligence with the intention that every being we interact with is inspired to thrive. We are in recovery from a culture of separation and disembodiment, rediscovering what it means to be in sacred relationship with the every day. We are committed to radical care and deep connection with ourselves, each other, and our earth.
