Mission:
EARTH exists to nurture the flourishing of individuals and communities through deeply rooted relationships, ancestral healing traditions, humility, and reverence for all of life. EARTH walks alongside those impacted by trauma, stress, and injustice, reclaiming sovereignty and tending a circle of restoration and care, rooted in the heartbeat of ancestral wisdom.
Vision:
EARTH envisions a world where all individuals and communities have access to ancestrally and culturally-aligned healing; a world where health of body, mind, spirit, and land is a shared birthright.
Values:
EARTH cares deeply for the whole of life and is rooted in principles of sacred interdependence amongst all things.
EARTH rests upon the ancient wisdom traditions of the world, that precede and inform the efforts of modern science, to nurture and restore the ecology of all living systems.
EARTH believes when we as individuals heal in relationship to one another, the culture, community, and land from which we arise, we contribute to the healing, strengthening, and renewal of the whole.
