The impulse for Tierra Valiente stems from an awareness of our civilizational trajectory within the dominant culture embedded with the logics of extraction, colonization, and separation from the living world.

We are both informed by this critical lens and inspired to create outside of the old incentive landscapes to build a culture based on the values of reciprocity, regeneration and resiliency.

At Tierra Valiente we don't have a mission statement but rather we hold a collective prayer:

“To create an imprint of lived possibility in dialogue with a living planet, in solidarity with all life and in service to the collective transition that we’re in.”

Our 88-acre commons is home to the Center for Cultural Transition, a convening space  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.
