We are Earth
elemental was founded as an antidote to our increasingly disconnected world. As humans continue to decimate our Earth through greed, negligence, and ignorance, it’s clear that the only way for true healing is to remember that we are not separate from Earth.
When we cultivate our connection to Earth, we are called into a relationship of respect, honor, and reciprocity. What humans and Earth need to move forward in wellness and harmony is a paradigm shift on a massive scale. We believe that nature-centered wellness practices are the first step in rekindling our connection to Earth. We believe real repair is possible.
