Connectivity Catalysts
A collaboration system braiding ancestral wisdom, nature-based knowing and modern technologies
Humans have co-evolved with nature for millennia.
Indigenous communities have developed distinctive ways of seeing, knowing, and relating to nature.
Alive in themselves, our eco-cultures adapt with the landscape and the lives that pass through them. Our stories, arts and economies are the expression of these relationships.
For 60 years global development has supported one nation, one ethnic group, one animal, one pet project. This pattern of disconnection ripped apart the seams that support life across an ecosystem.
Connectivity Catalysts are indigenous-led bioregional efforts that support the connections between all life and the cultural practices that maintain them. We weave the best of bottom up and top down innovations to heal fragmentation and allow money to flow to life.
In the SSTREAM, we nourish life at
The Root: we support and strengthen indigenous and traditional lifeways, communities and systems of knowledge
The Trunk: We have been dis-membered from the collective body. We cultivate inner dimensions of healing and repair for all people to re-member their cellular connection to all life, and
The Leaf: we envision, architect, and enact life-affirming systems built on indigenous values including educational, financial, policy and legal frameworks that support and enhance life.
