On Behalf of Mother Earth seeks to meaningfully reconnect humans with Mother Earth and one another.

“We can all see that Mother Earth is a great bodhisattva. When we see her in this way, with all her many virtues, we will walk more gently on her and treat all her children more gently. We will want to protect her and not harm her or any of the myriad forms of life she has given birth to. We will stop wreaking destruction and violence on Mother Earth. We will resolve the question of what we mistakenly call ‘the environmental problem.’ The Earth is not just the environment. The Earth is us.”

—Thich Nhat Hanh, from his book Love Letters to Mother Earth

We support the work of writers, musicians, photographers, filmmakers, painters, poets, and other artists whose work conveys the importance of connecting with Mother Earth.

We are seeking to connect with like-minded organizations and philanthropists to go forward.

We would like to offer Artist Residencies, wherein artists, writers, photographers, poets, musicians, and other creators would receive room, board and a monthly stipend in order to focus on projects that facilitate humans connecting to caring about the earth in a heart centered way.
