Reawakening our bond
with the Earth.
Our Living Earth funds and creates transformative projects that restore the relationship between people and planet — through story, conservation, and creative work that inspires reverence for all life.
Healing our relationship with nature is essential to healing ourselves.
Modern life has distanced us from the living world that sustains us. Our Living Earth works to restore that connection.
When we heal that relationship, we relearn what the living world has always taught. We learn to coexist — to take only what we need and waste nothing. We learn to find gratitude in the simple act of knowing where our food comes from. We learn to love without condition from a land that gives regardless. We learn patience from the seasons, and kindness from a system where every living thing belongs. And in remembering all of it, we learn to thrive.
Because what we love, we protect.
Food as Relationship
Food is not merely fuel — it is a living connection to soil, season, and the web of life that sustains every meal we share.
Biodiversity as Belonging
Pollinators, fungi, ancient forests — not background life, but essential partners in human survival and the fabric of all living ecosystems.
Wildness Within
The wild is not somewhere "out there." It is something ancient and alive within us — and reconnecting to it transforms how we live and care.
Projects rooted in reconnection
When We Were Wild
A documentary series exploring ancestral wisdom and the relationships that bind humans and the wild.
Our connection to the earth isn't broken; it's just forgotten. Through cinematic storytelling and intimate profiles, this project documents communities and individuals who still live in deep conversation with their local ecosystems.
From traditional tracking to deep oceanic practices, "When We Were Wild" serves as an active bridge between ancient human paths and the modern choices we face today to protect our ecosystem balance.

Save Wild Bees
Placing handcrafted log hives across California farmlands to restore wild bee habitat.
One in every three bites of food we eat depends on pollination — much of it carried out by bees. Yet modern agriculture relies heavily on commercial honeybee hives, many of which are vulnerable to threats worldwide. These managed hives often require ongoing treatment to survive.
Inspired by The Hive Architect and the French tradition of l'arbre aux abeilles, this initiative supports the creation and placement of handcrafted log hives throughout California's agricultural landscapes as sanctuaries.
