Through the initiative, we are investing in community-driven to unlock future funding and investments. By bridging the gap between community capacity and new infrastructure funding opportunities, we can ensure that capital investments are directed towards communities of color who are advancing neighborhood-scale climate solutions.

“Gathering Moss” is a book that we adore by author Robin Wall Kimmerer. We often reference both this text and “Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants” in our viewpoints and how we establish many facets of our clients branding, communications, and so on as we attempt to connect with and be inspired by nature in all that we do.

This book reflects on the science of what moss is and the lessons we can learn from these organisms that we can apply to many aspects of our lives in how we interact with other beings and with our planet as a whole.

“Just as you can pick out the voice of a loved one in the tumult of a noisy room, or spot your child's smile in a sea of faces, intimate connection allows recognition in an all-too-often anonymous world. This sense of connection arises from a special kind of discrimination, a search image that comes from a long time spent looking and listening. Intimacy gives us a different way of seeing, when visual acuity is not enough.”
― Robin Wall Kimmerer, Gathering Moss: A Natural and Cultural History of Mosses

“This cultural soul orientation leads into acknowledgement of the facets of the phenomenological and ontological connection of the sacred and sanctuary. In addition to providing a haven for social, cultural and interpersonal connection, the experience of sanctuary equips the subject as a political being for discursive deliberation.”
