It starts with connection.
It starts with thinking about the human ecosystem – the architecture of the connective tissue we must build to one another. It is the foundation that will help us rally our best inclusive selves to become the solution providers – the Earth Givers – necessary for us to thrive.
We invite gathering, conversing, and giving to one another. Earth Gives embraces the idea of philanthropy as giving to one another, agnostic to the solutions, and always, always - inviting the others. See and be seen. Integrate new thinking. Embrace the power of words, stories and questions. Be curious. Focus on systems. Understand that change starts locally. Join hands for ripples of change and greater impact.
