Earth Guardians
Eco-Activism for Families + Founations
What Does It Mean To Be An Earth Guardian:
COLLECTIVE MISSION: This group is made up of Families + Foundations who are committed to helping upgrade and heal themselves, their relationships (business or personal) and their connection with the land and ecology. This may include:
√ Recording and honoring any tradition that aligns with native ecology or early cultural wisdom (and that are not harmful to others or the ecology)
√ Upgrading and introducing new traditions that are better suited to support native ecology, climate change, and emerging cultural or global wisdom (to move beyond practices that may have been or become detrimental in any way)
√ Cultivating and co-creating a more balanced relationship between self, community, and the land, which may include inner-awareness practices, a deeper broader understanding of ecology, and building a personal ‘conversational respect’ with nature and the natural world.
√ Cultivating and implementing more balanced practices in planning, design, understanding, and use of natural and group resources. This may include adopting a ‘green checklist’ or other relevant assessment tools to support alignment of our (human) goals with nature’s wisdom.
√ Researching, understanding, making balanced use of, and protecting natural resources.
√ Educating, opening conversation about, sharing and upgrading practices that support financial health. This may include respecting different views and methods of energy/resource management.
√ Creating intentions and sustaining practices that can support the wellbeing of each other for long term benefit including future generations. This may include understanding and respecting different views and methods of contribution.

DECLARATION: As part of this sacred family collective, I seed new land in Colorado as an incentive and in trust for a shared purpose: (1) Honoring the Land in Texas that we grew up on, about which we continue to learn and discover ways of honoring tradition while creating new tradition, and (2) expanding our opportunity to share with new communities and new environments, the gifts and skills our family lineage has been able to weave together and to share for creative expression and mutual benefit over the years.
PROPOSED FAMILY CONTRIBUTORS: The following invitations are optional, offered in recognition of a few of the individuals with whom I’ve had the pleasure of learning from or about.
