We are both informed by this critical lens and inspired to create outside of the old incentive landscapes to build a culture rooted in  reciprocity, regeneration and resiliency.\n\n[![DJI-0069-1.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/WbJR025j/DJI-0069-1.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/CzY6gVy6)\n\nOur 88-acre commons is home to the Center for Cultural Transition, a learning center where we offer experiences at the intersection of the political, spiritual and ecological all through an animist lens. We are curating these containers to decolonize the conditioning of the dominant system and to be in deeper service to our collective potential. \n\n[![IMG-4327.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/VN3RX8vr/IMG-4327.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/f3fmh1xD)\n\nOur regenerative and syntropic farm is integrated into our center both providing the nourishment for guests and acting as a demonstration site to  share the importance and benefits of these practices to grow healthy foods, revitalize our soils and sequester carbon. \n\n[![untitled2.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/xjLjS3SL/untitled2.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/7bYr37hL)\n\nOur mutual-aid network, [Fuerza De Amor](https://fuerzadeamor.org), serves the local community in which we are embedded through acts of service and solidarity. Through deep listening to the needs of the community the  activities of the mutual-aid network have ranged over the years  from home renovations to create dignified and safe living conditions, planting food gardens, repairs on the local school, and programs for the youth. \n\n[![Untitled3.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/rpb47N2v/Untitled3.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/v1rDV9Bz)\n\nTierra Valiente serves as an incubator for sister projects that are stewarded by members of the community including: Culture Hack Labs (CHL) and Transition Resource Circle (TRC).\n\n[Culture Hack Labs](https://culturehack.io) is a not-for-profit that supports social movements, foundations and activists to shift the cultural narratives that create and justify ecological breakdown, extraction, and inequality. \n\n[Transition Resource Circle](https://https://www.transitionresourcecircle.org/) is a “temporary organizational zone” that focuses on evolving the philanthropic sector with the intention of rebalancing wealth, power and historical injustices. \n\n[![Screen-Shot-2024-04-19-at-10-45-24-PM.png](https://i.postimg.cc/m2y1wGXz/Screen-Shot-2024-04-19-at-10-45-24-PM.png)](https://postimg.cc/RNq0S2z4)\n\nIn a time of systems collapse, our intention is to embody the transition pathways that create other possibilities in service to Life.\n\n*“When a complex system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos have the capacity to shift the entire system to a higher order.”* Ilya Prigogine\n\n[![Untitled5.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/GpqZJ9Y7/Untitled5.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/hJQyKD2T)\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}}
