These are the fundamental elements that are present in everything we do. They are the essence of the story we’re telling and the work we’re sharing.
Tech-For-Good
Data - Connection - Technology - Community - Rebuild
We use technology to bring people together. By using open source tools to approach environmental challenges, we create and nurture connections that matter. We share what we learn and build open-source tools for the benefit of our community.
Legacy
Heritage - Regeneration - Healing - Past - Future
We leave this land better than we found it. We educate, we regenerate, and we heal the past through practical making. We’re connecting the wisdom of the past with the possibilities of the future, full circle.
Knowledge Sharing
Education - Legacy - Community
Knowledge is a commons. We believe that sharing what we know is vital for our land, our bodies, and our communities. We’re building an accessible library of information so others can learn, grow, and contribute to the collective wisdom.
Full Circle
Connection - Cyclic - Collective
We honour our heritage while building our future. Connection to the land and each other is the foundation of all healing. We work with the seasons, combining traditional craft with the insights of environmental sensors. Full circle.
The Four Streams
Sense - Information - Empathy - Data - Ethical
This element has a dual meaning for us. First, it’s about using technology and environmental sensors to gather helpful information. Second, it’s about reconnecting with and healing our senses by engaging them—hands in the earth, slowing down to connect, sipping a schnaps, or sharing the food we’ve grown. We want to create opportunities for our senses to be awakened in a world that often leaves them dormant.
Grow - Wellbeing - Nurture - Sustainable - Nature - Environment
At the centre of everything we do is growth—growing our communities, growing our own food, growing our connection to the land, growing our understanding of plants and produce, and growing our sense of wellbeing.
Ferment - Wellbeing - Active - Living food - Prosperity
Full-circle wellbeing and intentional action underpin everything we do, from the health of our soil to the food we put in our bodies. Our circle is connected through living food and abundant produce.
Distil - Pure Essence - Transparent - Open - Ethical
To distil is to create something in its purest form, to highlight its essence and its truth. We bring this idea to everything we do, sometimes in a literal way! We believe that the notion of “enough” is created by using just what you need, and that healing begins when businesses and communities act in a transparent and ethical manner.
