Our Mission
The mission of the Emerald Foundation is to integrate sustainability into culture. Our revolutionary projects nurture a respectful relationship between humanity and the ecosystems that tie our planet together. We honor the interconnectedness of people, plants, & all creatures as part of our irreplaceable home we call Earth.
Ecology
We believe in the power of nature to support life of every kind, and that it is our responsibility to continue to discover and implement better ways of engaging with the natural world in a symbiotic way. Animal rehabilitation, environmental care, & sustainable natural construction methods are essential tools to make this happen.
"If you truly love nature,
you will find beauty everywhere."
– Vincent van Gogh
Wellness
We believe in the power of natural healing through herbs, food combinations, numerous holistic techniques, nature and art. With fresh air, the right amount of sunlight, and having access to fresh food gives one greater chance at a healthy life. Expressing and witnessing creativity uplifts and transforms mental and emotional health for holistic healing on every level.
"Nature itself is the best physician."
– Hippocrates
Art
We believe in the power of creativity to transform our world for the better.
Therefore, we are committed to offering spaces for artists of every discipline to explore, develop, and offer their creativity through immersive workshops and experiences.
"If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden." – Frances Hodgson Burnett
