Welcome to Kinship Village
In a world that seems to be increasingly divided and isolated we are reconnecting. Through community events, volunteerism and education we bring people together. To appreciate, protect and learn from the world around us.
We embrace the joy, empathy and compassion that is the human spirit. The spirit that connects us all regardless of race, religion or culture. We know that the Earth is not a “thing” to be exploited. We honor our planet as the Giver of Life.

In the last newsletter I mentioned Design School for Regenerating Earth. Co-founded by Joe Brewer and Penny Heiple, they’re helping people live into the story of Bioregional Earth by regenerating their bioregions and building a planetary network of learning exchanges. The Design School offers education, training and global networking. Their place based, regional approach and respect for Indigneous knowledge is very much in line with the Kinship Worldview. I am looking forward to exploring how Kinship Village can be a part of their work.
In the midst of darkness, Be the Light
In the midst of chaos, Be the Calm
In the midst of hate, Be Love
In a world caught in the throes of confusion and deception step away from the masses.
We’re standing on the precipice of history.
Hold tight in one hand the guiding Light of Truth and in the other the Banner of Peace.
Hold fast, be strong my friends…

I discovered Nahko and Medicine for the People 10 years ago. Their message about the struggles of America’s Indigenous people in modern society led directly to Kinship Village. Listening to their message I came upon the realization that while I'm not indigenous to wherever I happen to be I am rooted to the Earth and related to everything She supports. Much later I was introduced to Four Arrows. He taught me the Indigenous Worldview. Working through his CAT-FAWN process I realized that I needed to find a way to help bring People together with each other and Mother Earth. Kinship Village is my expression of that realization.
