Modern culture has lost the kinship with nature that is its birthright. The dead and dying pieces of the great and ancient relationship between humans and the earth lie scattered like bleached bones across the landscapes of our exile. But they can be collected again, reassembled into the whole, sung back to life for us all.
We know this can be done because we do it.
The Sacred Circle is a powerful visual image of reality for those who live in Indigenous worldview. This particular Circle depicts Tapestry's worldview, the work we do, and the way we do it. Please click the image. Learn more.
Tapestry is a nonprofit organization that operates out of Indigenous worldview to help reconnect people to the natural world. Through research and education, meetings and media, we gather the bones of the earth-human relationship found in art and in story, in the patterns rediscovered by science and in the awe long preserved by religions. We weave these pieces together using processes of Indigenous understanding. What emerge are powerful opportunities for learning, restoring our relationship with the earth, and reconstructing the meaning of a kinship that humans have lost . . . but never forgotten.
