Mission Statement
Our mission is to promote sustainable community that fosters life-giving relationships, nurtures connections, and celebrates solutions for restoring and healing Earth's communities.
We do this through a variety of strategies including:
- Educating the community on innovative solutions.
- Offering a systemic framework, i.e. a way of "connecting the dots" that is holistic, systemic, and multi-disciplinary.
- Linking individuals and networks in order to foster connection, cross-pollination, and collaboration of people and ideas, all focused on positive change.
- Advocating for opportunities to restore our damaged and depleted community.
- Being an oasis of hope that sparks mass creativity and engagement.
