Kinship works at the heart of culture change to inspire reconnection with the web of life.
We are a global organization engaging facets of culture to shift the destructive worldview that we are separate and superior to the natural world.
Our programs work with change-makers at the grassroots and organizational levels to affirm the reality that we must live in reciprocity with all life.
Our Approach to Culture Change
Cultures are diverse and dynamic ecosystems. Sparking shifts within culture is nuanced, complex and necessary.
Our Strategy and Programming focuses on these key elements of culture change:
Exploring visions, values and worldviews.
Understanding power structures and systems.
Seeding stories to sprout narrative shifts.
Harnessing art and language to shape new realities.
Imagining new futures.
Deepening relationships & roots for transformative change.
Our Offerings
The Nature Culture Fellowship
Our Nature Culture Fellowship (NCF) centers on transforming systems through culture change and grassroots projects. Join a community of change-makers to explore how storytelling, artivism, and culture can drive social and environmental change, and transform systems.
Selected fellows will implement on-the ground projects that spark local and regional shifts to cultivate communities and cultures living in reciprocity with our planet.
Applications OPEN October 2026 for our 2027 Nature Culture Fellowship Program!
Hearth Gathering
Our Hearth Gatherings are a space for organizations and strategists working in culture and social-environmental change.
As a collective we explore dimensions of culture change that we can impact on organizational and systemic levels. Together, we will uncover new possibilities and co-create cultural initiatives for repair and reconnection with the web of life.
We are hosting a Hearth Gathering in November 2026 with select partnership organizations in preparation for a larger gathering in 2027.
The Artist Collective
The Kinship Artist Collective harnesses the power of creative expression as an essential facet of culture change.
Through various forms of media - storytelling, art, music, film, ceremony - our artists reveal and provoke possibilities for how humans can restore their relationship with the natural world.
Our collective of artists are deeply rooted in their communities and integrated throughout our programs to evoke a multicultural and multimedia call to action to restore our planet!
We are looking for Artists to be a part of our 2026 Hearth Gathering and 2027 NCF Program!
