We are investing in our communities' #emergingleaders to promote collective continuity in ancestral leadership. What that looks like in practice is leaders actively taking on the role of stewards of ecologies and communities in service to overall wellbeing. #restoringbalance

The Restoring Balance Collaborative is a global learning space for Indigenous Nations & organizations actively leading systems change. #Restoringbalance is rooted in Indigenous ways of knowing and living. It is about ensuring an abundant future for the next seven generations.
