Our Ecosystem
With an earth centered, global indigenous ethos as the foundation of our vision and who we are, our community comprises both the seen and unseen, the human and nonhuman. The land, our ancestors, the people and all beings make up the ecosystem where Reclaiming alignment is blessed to co-envision this work. We turn to all to envision our work and the way forward.
The land project partners we steward with are femme, queer, non-binary, black, brown and/or native folx who have shared vision for healing, organizing and coalition building. With values, embodied practices and cultural legacies that further inspire what we do and why we do it.
Our network of movement communities, youth orgs and individuals supporting this work have years of practice, political education, and time spent supporting the care and well being of our planet, our youth and families.
