the heart of existence—whole..
We are a group of activists, artists, land stewards, change-makers, and dreamers co-creating an incubation space for visionary ideas, new ways of being, and collective transformation.
Our Values
Collective Liberation
We seek to free ourselves from the oppressive systems of colonialism, capitalism, and the limiting beliefs that harm the earth and all life.
Eros + Embodied Enchantment
Through a reciprocal relationship with nature, we honor both the beauty and the shadows of existence, embracing the mystery within the ordinary. This embodied enchantment invites a passionate engagement with life, encouraging us to embrace the fullness of our senses, our intuition, and our connection to the world around us.
Collective Wisdom
Wisdom is a prism; there are infinite angles from which to gain insight, there are many ways to know. We aim to widen our abilities to perceive reality, expanding our capacity to hold complexity and nuance. Through collaborative knowledge-sharing, we cultivate the discernment to engage with the paradoxes of an ever-unfolding world.
Kinship
Everything is interconnected. We honor our relationships with ourselves, others, and the living world, believing that healing and growth happen in these connections. Our approach intwines the personal and the collective, nurturing an eco-centered consciousness.
Nurturance
We offer an environment of support and mutual care, where everyone’s unique experience is honored.
