2026 Year-End Campaign
Our Strongest Practice
Attention, connection and ecological belonging
The world is going digital faster than any of us can keep up. Time outside, and with each other, is the antidote. Help us raise $175,000 by December 31.
When times are hard, we default not to our highest self, but to our strongest practice.
~ KT
Our goal by December 31
$175,000
Every gift between now and midnight on December 31 counts toward it.
What are we practicing?
So much of modern life trains us to scroll, react and rush. At Weaving Earth, we practice something else: paying attention. To birds, to land, to our own bodies, to each other.
What we are doing: bringing that practice to children in 13 Title I elementary schools, to teens crossing a threshold, and to adults training for a changing climate.
Why it matters: when times are hard, people fall back on what they have practiced. Your gift keeps this practice strong through 2027. In 2025, 80 cents of every dollar we spent went directly to programs.
Make your gift
Secure giving through Givebutter. Your gift is tax-deductible.
“I feel like I live in a whole new place now, just from even doing the journaling exercises and seeing, wow, presumably these trees were here last year. These blossoms were there last year. I just wasn't noticing them.”
Imani, ATTUNE Season 2
Here's how your gifts will be put to work

“I found a deep connection in the forest, seeing how the trees were working together, and everything had a place. Looking at the ways that the natural world has systems that create peace inspires me to find systems that I can use to try to create peace.”
Senior trip participant, Credo High School
What your gift makes possible
Gifts are pooled to meet the whole need. These are examples of what a gift this size can do.
We work to make sure cost is never the reason someone can't join the circle.
- Nearly half of Bird Kinship participants this year joined through the Lifeways Back Fund or by scholarship.
- 76% of ATTUNE’s cohort are BIPOC, nearly all of whom received support through the Lifeways Back Fund.
- Through the Seasons is free to every Title I elementary school, buses included.
“Receiving support to attend this program through the Lifeways Back Fund has meant I've been able to arrive and feel like I'm being met where I'm at.”

“As a single, Indigenous mother, this program has been transformative and healing. I brought these skills back to my community, while my 3-year-old daughter learned and connected with the land alongside us. It truly is a multigenerational program.”
