About us

Everyone born on this Earth has a story. EarthStory offers people a chance to come together and share their stories with one another. We believe that tending to the relationship between human beings and the natural world is a way to tell the new story of our time.

We want to uplift the voices of ecologists, artists, activists, and public servants. We seek to amplify the wisdom of our indigenous siblings. We believe that all of our ancestors help to guide us into a future that is worthy of the potential of our children’s lives.

Now is the time to gather and move our world toward a greater wholeness, together.
