who we are

We are a U.S. based, global network of African and Pan Indigenous creatives, community leaders and organizations, academics, and all allies working to rebuild our relationships with each other and nature to mitigate and adapt to climate change by advancing eco–centered vs. ego-centered cultures, knowledge, policies, and practices.

Our Belief

Ubuntu: I am Because You/We Are

Our Values

Interdependence, Cooperation, and Interspecies Harmony

Our Vision

We envision a joyful world. One that celebrates our ‘Oneness’ and recognizes our interdependence with each other and mother earth. A world in which investments in relationships and communities are valued above material resources.

Our Mission

Catalyze an Ubuntu (values-based) Climate movement dedicated to the Commons and cooperative economies and lifestyles through the cultural reweaving of traditional, ancestral, and innovative African and pan-indigenous communal world views, values, and practices.

“Shamans say the Village Heart can grow a brand-new World House if it is well-dressed in the layered clothing of each indigenous soul’s magic sound, ancestral songs and indigenous ingenuity”

– Martin Prechtel

We are Cultural Creatives who are speaking, dancing, singing and imagining the world our hearts know is possible. For we are listening to the ancient ones and wisdom keepers. We are sensing into the present and leaning to the future; inviting in new story-tellers, artists, poems, songs, comedians, photographers and videographers, ceremonies and those cultural creatives who already know and envision this beautiful collective ethos. We can and will rewrite the story that calls us forth to a new way of being. Our greatest act of love and contribution is to steward Mother Earth’s regeneration, heal our communities, re-story our current consumer-based, ego-centered world-view to the story that understands and celebrates interdependence, cooperation and interspecies harmony. We reclaim our Afro-descendent and Pan-indigenous practices and knowledge to help this vision seed and grow. For we are an ancient mycelial network of leadership, talent, knowledge and community. We have been here for a long time. We are ready.
