Always remember that you are part of the spiritual living system of planet Earth and that we are responsible for taking care of our home

The Purpose
It is a known truth that human wars, colonialism, and global deforestation has wrought unimaginable harm to natural systems and human civilizations. It is impossible for us to go back in time as too much has been altered.
However, together we are capable of altering the trajectory of this pathway toward a global natural and sustainable future. The purpose of this platform is to propose and elaborate on Earth conscious and practical solutions that will improve the lives of human beings through creativity and imagination.
Uplifting Black Women
When the whole of humanity is acknowledged as worthy of attention, care, resources, happiness, and life, then we can achieve greater heights together. For this purpose, this platform takes a special interest in the wellbeing of Black womxn.
Even though the concept of race is a psychosocial illusion, the persistent global belief in this concept has disproportionately impacted the lives, safety, and wellbeing of Black and Afro people. Among this demographic, women and queer people are faced with particular disparagement and dehumanization.
Black women have continually contributed to the art, dance, music, fashion, and spirit that we love to experience across cultures. The enhancement and uplifting of this demographic will have the ripple effect of spreading throughout the rest of humanity. When you allow one group of people to be targets of dehumanization, you open the doors for the same to eventually happen to everyone.
Building A Human Friendly and Eco Conscious World
We have the ability to build an eco conscious future that is inclusive of all human beings regardless of culture or identity. We must all begin the process within our own communities first. After all, there are many of us in many nations on this planet.
Once we begin to work hard to heal our home communities and ethnic tribes, then we can come together cohesively as a wider collective. Until then, the socially constructed divisions between peoples will continually inhibit our future evolution as an entire species.
Also, remember that diversity is a core aspect of the structure and flow of natural systems, we are one and many at the same time. Our natural differences are beautiful and necessary for us to see the many ways that humans can exist.
You Are Nature
Living in industrial societies can at times make you feel more like a machine than a human being. It is imperative that you know and understand that you yourself are a natural living system and product of the natural world.
You are composed of atoms, carbon, cells, and water, among other elements and molecules. You are a conscious electrical being full of life and aspirations. Everything that you are born as is of the Earth and the vast cosmos, and recognizing this is the first step to reconnecting with our home planet.
At the Root
You often hear that those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. We are currently at a crossroads in history where the very near future will decide our collective fate over the course of this new age.
The truths of the past must be revealed and understood in their entirety so that we are able to create anew. Our communities are polluted with harmful ideologies that are maintaining our current state of mental entrapment.
While humanity has never quite been perfect, learning from the ancient ways of our indigenous ancestors can clue us in to how we can begin to reshape our future in better cohesion with modern technology and scientific advancements.
Between Spirit and Science
You may have traditionally perceived spirituality and scientific study to be two completely opposite fields of interest. However, they are simply different sides of the same coin, two viewpoints attempting to understand the same concepts.
By blending together our natural intuitive knowledge and abilities with empirical research and modern technology, we can harness a greater image of reality and our meaning within it. Humans do not exist exclusively with a left brain or a right brain, but with both, because both sides are necessary for us to function wholly.
Tyto Black
Creator
I have always been drawn to the wild natural world around us. The patterns, systems, and organization that can be seen in the natural world have been the blueprint from which human civilizations have been built upon. I believe that our persistent disconnection from our home planet has caused us to suffer needlessly as a species. My objective is to build a space where people can examine the way in which our mindsets regarding nature and human beings impact our individual lives and the structures of our communities. Understanding the order of the natural world brings life and our place in it into perspective. I also seek to uplift and create an innovative space for Black/Soulaan Queer women to develop eco conscious awareness within our communities and a framework for a new reality.
