The IndigiCore Program Model — a network of hope weaving ancient wisdom with regenerative practice.
In the spirit of unified collaboration and other such earth-centered endeavors, the IndigiCore Program is a network of hope to inspire new ideas and actions taking place in the creation of a new way of living in harmony with the Earth, across all perceived borders. This education, permaculture, volunteer, and coordination program will weave the wisdom of indigenous leaders, professional innovators, passionate artists and creators, spirit healers, technology developers, creative educators, building and permaculture experts, and Water Protectors / Earth Stewards into one mission for Earth and community revitalization in each area we serve. IndigiCore projects are intrinsically connected to our SpiritQuest Program and its network of past and present participants and community members among many of the sacred sites of the world.
Each year, Tree of Light leads four or more different groups around the US and the world to different Indigenous tribes and sacred sites as a means of learning, understanding, and spiritual upliftment. Tree of Light has hosted many different types of gatherings and events around important awareness campaigns and educational topics over the years, such as a year long campaign for water awareness and education, a year long campaign for the Global White Lion Protection Trust, and food rescue for elders and families.
With this endeavor, our goal is to bring specific focus and awareness towards local indigenous organizations such as Native Wisdom Academy, Women's Mohawk singing group, Ancient Echoes, Center for Sacred studies, The Path, and the Eco-Preservation project, and to build cross disciplinary teams that operate around the globe to directly highlight and build systems that encourage local solutions to the alarming and concerning issues around water and land management, whole health and well-being, connection to family and community, creating equality and harmony through open spaces, art and education, and more.
The model is woven across four interrelated themes that guide IndigiCore programs.
The key to returning our Earth and our humanity back to sustainable ways is in the teachings & values of our ancestors. The people who once lived in harmony with our Mother Earth hold the knowledge which we can merge with our modern world.
Extractive methods have dominated our global practices, leaving the planet and her organisms to suffer. Ecological destruction is rampant but fortunately there are regenerative practices, sustainable innovations, & appropriate technologies that can lead us to a thriving future.
What is it that is separating us in our local & global communities? In a modern world riddled by fear, greed, & patriarchal ideals, how can we heal ourselves and each other? We must begin by learning our deepest wounds and the social constructs that separate us, so that we can reunite together through our similarities & our common cause. We must reconnect with our identity as Human-Beings, first.
Our global monetary system is based on debt and inflation. Values that once built tribes and local communities are now commodified into privatized businesses. How can we release ourselves from this model? Decentralization and returning our value system away from greed and selfishness to a collective agenda will allow us to rise together as thriving communities. For the tribes of the past, the wealthiest man was the one who had the most to share & give away.
Through our annual SpiritQuest sacred voyages we have enabled countless stewards exercising the spirit through ceremony and intentional group focus.
