It is our mission to center our lives around a reciprocal and loving relationship with Mother Earth that generates healing for the land and her peoples for generations to come.
Vision
We nurture an inclusive, multi-age learning community where we look to the land as our primary teacher.
We discover and deepen our relationships with the earth, each other, and ourselves.
We remember and center the wisdom of the earth, our ancestors, local tribes, and our innate knowing through land-based, transdisciplinary, immersive learning.
We believe it is our responsibility to dismantle settler colonialism and adopt new ways of being, learning, and relating toward a climate-just, anti-racist, and equitable future.
We know and grow our bodies, hearts, souls, minds, and spirits through joyful daily and seasonal rhythms and festivals grounded in gratitude.
Our community strives to embody respect and love for lands, waters, and all her inhabitants.
Location
We are located on the shores of the Salish Sea, where the fresh water meets the salt water, in the traditional and ancestral lands of the Steh-chass band of the Squaxin Island people and the tribes of the Treaty of Medicine Creek of 1854, now known as Olympia, WA. By acknowledging that we are on Indigenous land, we are opening the door to acknowledging our responsibility to the land and peoples wherein we have settled. We intend that the work we set upon will begin and inspire repair.
