Places refer to where we are in each territory with its own context, geography and history. The place hosts all of life: the rivers, the mountains, the forest, the soil, and all living beings.

Cultures refer to who we are and how we see our role as caretakers of our respective territories. Our cultures are defined and shaped by the past, present and future of our territories and are thus expressed in unique ways in different places.

Economies that are connected to place and culture, refer to what we do as humans as we create conditions to ensure that all of life in the territory can thrive in co-existence and kinship.

we offer confluence to seemingly disparate but resonating movements and territories, so they can become a coherent collective force towards a common goal of nourishing Life. At the heart of our work as weavers are relationships of care, affinity and affect.

we put into practice old and new ways of knowing, towards a territorial economy that is in service of our places and our cultures, so it can be a source of autonomy for current and future generations.

we share voices, perspectives and narratives that offer elements of the paths towards living cultures.
