We are a living, breathing organization.
We are still in a listening phase as we move our first projects into the public space and gather thought leadership from many corners of the globe.
We are holding space as an operational team, and a growing network of partners to allow for an emergent example of living systems thinking. We are fertilizing the soil, planting seeds where there are swales and allowing what is native to grow abundantly.
We believe this can provide a template for other industries to create and adopt similar models of nature-centric identity and productivity for individual, organizational and human systems.
We often ask ourselves, is the whole world better if an initiative exists? If the answer is yes, we amplify it.
