About Tree of Light
Tree of Light is an Indigenous led non-profit organization directed toward the discovery and revival of traditional practices for all people and communities. Our goal is to weave together that which has been silenced, lost by way of commodity or covered up. We do this by overseeing and initiating projects on the premise that all Indigenous Nations world wide have had intrinsic rapport, guidelines and agreements, and spiritual based practices that keep communities in balance and in harmony with our Mother Earth. We integrate and help bring traditional practices to the forefront, by learning once again how to exercise our Spirit through traditions, ancestral, and ceremonial ways of education, solutions-based projects, and wellness practices.
Our vision is to bridge communities together to inspire local action in alignment with four key areas of focus: education, community development, healing and wellness, and regenerative systems development. We do this by creating sacred gatherings, educational curriculum, and bridging international networks into partnership, stewardship, volunteerism, and coherence. Up to now it’s been hard to give back financially unless a project formed its own foundation. Now they don’t have to. The Tree of Light Foundation is a non-profit organization providing financial and legal infrastructure for Indigenous, environmental, and community projects for distributed collaboration.
