As we close the chapter on 2025, we find ourselves in a place of profound reflection and renewal. This year brought its share of challenges—moments that tested our resolve, stretched our resources, and asked us to dig deeper into our purpose. Yet within these

trials, we discovered something essential: the strength that comes from letting go, the clarity that emerges from resetting our intentions, and the wisdom of our ancestors who have walked similar paths through uncertain times.
New Leadership, Timeless Mission
The Sacred Earth Foundation welcomes new voices to our leadership circle, individuals who bring fresh perspective while honoring the traditions that guide our work. Together, we've spent these closing months in ceremony and contemplation, shedding what no longer serves our mission and recommitting ourselves to the work ahead.
Like the earth itself cycles through seasons of growth and dormancy, we too have needed this time to release, to rest, and to prepare for new growth. This is not an ending but a transformation—one that strengthens our foundation and sharpens our focus.
Our Commitment Remains Unwavering
The Sacred Earth Foundation remains dedicated to the conservation of indigenous cultures, their territories, and their wisdom. This mission has never been more vital. In a world that often moves too fast, that forgets the old ways, that disconnects from the land and its original stewards, we stand as a bridge between past and future, honoring the knowledge keepers and protecting the sacred places that hold our collective memory.
Looking Ahead: 2026
As we step into 2026, we're excited to announce the return of our foundational programs:
**Workshops and Sweat Lodge Ceremonies**
We will be gathering again in sacred space, creating opportunities for learning, healing, and connection. These workshops will explore indigenous wisdom traditions, sustainable land stewardship, and the spiritual practices that have sustained indigenous peoples for millennia. Our sweat lodge ceremonies will offer a place for purification, prayer, and community.
Specific dates and registration details will be released in the coming days. We invite you to watch this space and join us as we come together in ceremony and purpose.
Gratitude Beyond Words
To our supporters, followers, advocates, and all those who walk in kinship with us—we see you. Your belief in this work, your contributions of time, resources, and spirit, your willingness to listen and learn and stand alongside indigenous communities—this is what makes our mission possible.
You have carried us through the challenges of this year. You have reminded us that we do not walk this path alone. For this, we offer our deepest gratitude and respect.
The Path Forward
The work of protecting indigenous cultures, territories, and wisdom is urgent and ongoing. As we move into 2026, we do so with renewed energy, clear purpose, and gratitude for those who journey with us.
The earth teaches us about cycles, about death and rebirth, about the patience required for deep transformation. We honor these lessons as we continue forward.
In kinship and gratitude,
The Sacred Earth Foundation
*Stay connected with us for upcoming workshop and sweat lodge dates. Together, we protect what is sacred.*
