STUDY & SHARE

Study the patterns of thriving natural and cultural ecosystems.

Notice and name what is both in front of us and within us.

Study and share Ecological Design practices with leaders, organizations, and mission-driven projects.

Witness

Acknowledge and share testimony to our lived experience, studies, visions and missions.

Witness with pride, compassion and gratitude; our deep and shared calling for clarity of place, purpose, and belonging.

SHARE THANKS AND PRAISE

Beyond ‘sustainability,’ consider perhaps it’s not our right to keep on taking. Perhaps it is our responsibility to ask, “what can we give?”

Thanks, Praise – Reciprocity – Bhakti in Yoga, is a start. And gratitude itself, is a gift Humans are uniquely able to offer.

May we explore the many practices of thanks and praise through and throughout our thriving participation in, and service to Life.

Listen & Follow

First, we notice there are intelligences other than our own.

Then we notice, It is through respect and reciprocity, which is listening and attending to permission from others, that allows us learn to attend to your own ecstatic Manifesto.

Listening attunes to land, body, intuition, ancestry, and community.

Following honors the intelligence of ecosystems and the quiet coherence when our hearts feel our true Direction.

LEAD & ACT

Leadership arises from your heart to move oceans. From clarity of calling and responsibility seek what matters to your innermost imagination. Action is taken when alignment is recognized, even when it requires courage, recalibration, or steadiness under pressure. To lead is to move values into form; to act is to respond when the moment requires embodiment rather than theory, requiring rigor AND reverence – where our collective minds can support the flourishing of our collective hearts.

BE HERE NOW

Fully and physically participate in the places, relationships, and communities calling for action. Service is expressed through presence, labor, care, and collaboration. Energy and resources are wielded as manifestations of love and commitment, rather than extraction or transaction.

Active engagement in community, land, culture, and shared work. Participation turns intention into embodied practice and strengthens interdependence through contribution and presence.

ReGENERATIVE STEWARDSHIP

Regenerative culture and Ecosystem Design honors the interdependence of flora, fauna, land, water, and people. Support is directed toward business, environmental, and projects that restore ecological and cultural balance. Human beings hold the right to live within systems that support thriving ecosystems — where diversity strengthens resilience and opposite forces work in complementary, co-creative cycle.

We seek a path of:

building with intention – in ways that support ecological health, capacity and connections

rootedness – in community and a shared purpose
