Helping sacred medicines nurture societal change
Kindred Trust funds high impact projects and collaborates with partners to support an effective ecosystem of organizations working in the plant medicine space. We take a collaborative, reciprocal approach to philanthropy that acknowledges and uplifts those who came before us.
OUR WHYPathways for shifting consciousness
Our extractive systems are creating cascading ecological breakdown, social division, and political instability. Existing approaches have failed to adequately address these interconnected crises at their root.
To address these challenges, we need new pathways that recognize the interconnectedness of our global struggles and our kinship with the earth and each other.
Sacred medicines can catalyze profound shifts in consciousness that reveal our interdependence and surface deep wisdom. With the right context and integration, this process has the potential to contribute to transformative social change and a more sustainable and flourishing future for people and the planet.
To foster the conditions for sacred medicines to enable a shift in consciousness without reinforcing the extractive and damaging systems that led to our current crises is an important challenge and a major opportunity.
“This work brings a critical eye, and a spirit of inclusion and bridge building that is truly valuable.”
