Guiding Framework

  • Human wellbeing is inseparable from Earth wellbeing. Taking care of the Earth, and being taken care of in return (nature connection), is the solution to healing ourselves and our planet

  • We prioritize a culture of connection, breaking down the walls of isolation and loneliness that negatively contribute to health & wellbeing

  • The bridge that connects us to the natural world. Emphasizing what we see, hear, smell, taste, and touch while in Nature helps learning, builds our mindfulness muscle, and increases feelings of gratitude

  • Whether it’s simple stretching, a walk or hike, or outdoor yoga, moving our bodies is essential

  • Giving a voice and outlet to emotions, a significant aspect of the resiliency process. Gardening, music, art, and dancing to name a few

  • Just like physical exercise strengthens the body, reflection strengthens the mind. It’s easy to engage in a growth mindset (vs. fixed), which increases innovation, problem-solving, resilience, and self-efficacy to name just a few!

Collective Resilience

Because our ability to cope and flourish, especially in difficult times, is deeply intertwined with the strength, connectedness, and collaborative capacity of the groups and communities we belong to!
