Our origin story is rooted in over a decade of weaving relationships, pilgrimages, and ceremonies across more than fifty Indigenous territories. The vision was received when one hundred and fifty traditional guardians from all over the Americas met in Santa Marta with the Kogis, Arhuacos, Kankuamos Kogui and Wiwa of the Sierra Nevada to consult Mother Earth about a way out of our polycrises.

Mindahi shares that love is a universal law in the Otomi Toltec tradition, and reciprocity guides how life is lived. He reflects on this moment of global transition and calls for restoring balance with the Earth through conscious action, regeneration, and ancestral wisdom. His teachings invite us to walk with humility and return to right-relationship with the living world.

Earlier this year, our Convenor Mindahi Bastida traveled to Rome for the latest in a series of meetings with Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. These conversations have deepened mutual understanding around the historic harms experienced by Indigenous peoples, and the enduring need for moral leadership in addressing them. Mindahi’s presence in Rome represents a symbolic and practical bridge between ancient traditions of Earth-care and the Vatican’s own evolving commitment to justice.

The Harmony Summit at Highgrove Gardens, convened in July 2025, marked a historic moment for our organisation and for the wider movement to restore right-relationship with the Earth. Hosted by King Charles and in partnership with The King’s Foundation, the gathering brought together Indigenous custodians, scientists, land stewards, cultural leaders, and regenerative practitioners in a shared spirit of listening, learning, and co-creation.
