Mission

Loam inspires, connects and cultivates leaders who feel, think and act in alignment with nature. Our reflective education, nature-based programming and creative services deepen relationships within and across the diverse field of social change. Together, we are transforming ourselves and our world towards flourishing, heart-centered kinship.

Vision

We believe in the power of prioritizing emergence, interdependence and belonging at every scale. We envision a just and joyful future in which all social change leaders are practicing and cultivating respect and reverence to one another, our planet and the process of change.

Guiding Inquiry

What becomes possible when we turn our attention towards relationship?

Our guiding inquiry acts as a compass, enabling our work to be alive, responsive and emergent in a fast-changing world while making sure we are always building towards our vision.
