What We Do

We Support Communities to
Thrive Once Again!

By bridging ancient wisdom with modern technology, connecting a global network of wise practice and experience, and supporting teams, leaders and communities with tools, training, coaching and mentorship, we support in the creation of healthy, vibrant nations and self-empowered people.

What We Do

How We Get Involved

Building Natural Leaders

We support leaders and aspiring leaders with the tools, knowledge, innovation, partnerships, and networks to be an effective catalyst for change in their communities or organizations.

Our Champions of Change Leadership School builds the next generation of values-based leaders with the skills, knowledge, resources and networks to drive transformational change in their communities, while having the strength and resilience to tackle the challenges ahead. With sovereign thinking and productive mindset that puts people to work, fosters growth and advancement, and supports ongoing innovation and learning, leaders are equipped to build strong and self-reliant communities.

Our certified programs and ongoing indigenous-to-indigenous mentorship provide students with access to the best and brightest ideas, innovations, and technologies globally for long-term successful community economic development success locally across Canada.

Building Thriving Communities

Whether a community is embarking on economic development, strengthening existing opportunities or taking on Nation Re-Building, we provide support, coaching and mentorship, and a global community of wise practice, to tackle the road ahead, putting people and culture first, with confidence and network of tools and resources to help on the journey.

We are supporting local economies that account for true value, respect the web of life systems and ensure everyone has an opportunity to participate in productive capital creation.

We apply a Two-Eyed Seeing approach through our partnerships with the University of Toronto’s Center for Global Engineering, Biomimicry Commons and the Mno Aki Land Trust. We are researching and incubating natural solutions in food, energy, water and housing that foster well- being and work with our life systems. These Integrity Systems approach development from a relationship-based understanding of the interconnectedness of life systems, together with modern technology, seeking to harness efficiencies by working in partnership with our natural world.

Community Hub of Wise Practice

Starting on this journey can be daunting. We share experiences and wise practices connecting communities, youth and Elders from across Canada for cross-cultural expertise. There is a lot we can learn from one another.

Our Community Hub helps build local resilience, increase collaboration and innovation, and share wise practices, stories and experiences. We are here for each other!

Our Resource Library is a tool available for communities of tools, experiences and latest in innovative models.

Our approach is rooted in practices that are proven, practical, and working on the ground in Canadian Indigenous communities.

We ensure that these mechanisms are tailored to meet specific community needs, as well as local realities. Combining traditional wisdom and contemporary knowledge at each stage, to create a holistic and values-based community-led process that reflects the interconnectedness of the community and enables members to define their future on their own terms, is a truly sustainable model to development.

It is with great excitement that we announce the r It is with great excitement that we announce the release of the new book, How to Treat Immune System Illnesses Naturally by Chicham Chiriap (@keensurvivalist)! In this remarkable work, the author takes you on a transformative journey, sharing profound insights from the spiritual world of the Shuar, the indigenous people of the Amazon, along with their own personal experiences.⁠
⁠
Having been initiated into the ancient wisdom of the Shuar from childhood, Chicham received teachings from esteemed Shuar Shamans, including their father, uncle, and other wise mentors residing deep within Ecuador's Amazon jungle. These teachings sparked a passion for exploring natural healing methods, particularly the power of the jungle's medicines and age-old techniques.⁠
⁠
In 2014, a significant turning point occurred in the author's life when their partner, Julie, received a diagnosis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (Lupus)—a condition that was previously unfamiliar to them. Motivated by a deep-rooted desire to assist Julie on her natural healing journey, the author embarked on a transformative path, intertwining the profound wisdom of the jungle with ancestral knowledge.⁠
⁠
Every aspect of this book has been meticulously crafted to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of how immune system problems impact their lives. The author's intention is to expand the message of healing the human body and spirit in a natural way, fostering a deeper connection to our natural world and standing as guardians of the jungle, the lungs of the Earth. ⁠
⁠
Through the pages of this book, the author invites readers to delve into the teachings, discovering the innate power and intelligence of their bodies, minds, and the natural world. The journey is filled with profound insights, practical guidance, and an invitation to embrace a holistic approach to well-being.⁠
⁠
🙌 Share your thoughts and experiences as you dive into this book. We are excited to hear about the transformations and connections you discover along the way. Together, we can heal, grow, and defend the invaluable treasures of the jungle and our own well-being. 🌿💚 Click the link in bio to purchase ebook!⁠
