Our Programs
and Initiatives

EARTH aims to support a variety of communities and populations through the co-creation of novel approaches rooted in collectivist-minded healing and a cultural-ecological model of health (see graphic below). With escalating global crises of displacement, inequity, trauma, and layered stress, EARTH aims to listen to understand first, followed by mutually agreed upon models of support infused with embodied compassion. EARTH believes that individual healing supports relationship - with self, other, family, community, and global levels. Growing research supports the science of co-regulation - the understanding that one's own physiological state influences others and the environment around them. Expanding concepts of self-care, self-regulation, and self-expression, into the co-creation demands is thus an underpinning of our work in the world. EARTH also operates from the understanding that healing is process-based, and takes ample resources, support, and time. Therefore, EARTH deliberately acknowledges that no one organization or individual has all the answers and that there are no quick fixes. As Nora Bateson said, "The problems we are facing are so complex that it is not possible to know how to fix them". This doesn't mean we can't take committed action in the service of our values, as inputs into these processes. Lastly, when people and organizations are able to balance out the proprietary nature of modern systems through conscious awareness and attention, the potential for shifting trajectories away from crisis and towards the emergence of greater well-being, is supported. On this page you will see a few key areas of our synergistic work with other organizations and funders.
