Local Earth is honored to be a collaborator in the concept development and initiation of the Taos Community Resilience Coalition and From Roots to Revival

The Taos Community Resilience Coalition and From Roots to Revival are two synergistic initiatives woven together by a shared commitment to ecological regeneration, cultural healing, and systemic transformation. While From Roots to Revival provides the overarching narrative framework—offering historical insight, visionary storytelling, and tools for societal evolution—the Taos Community Resilience Coalition grounds these principles in place-based action, cultivating resilience through local collaboration, private-public-civil partnership, and bioregional stewardship. Together, they form a dynamic model for catalyzing planetary healing, one town and bioregion at a time.

Taos Community Resilience Coalition

The Taos Community Resilience Coalition is a citizen-led movement committed to fostering a thriving, sustainable, and resilient future for Taos County. Guided by principles of environmental stewardship, social equity, local economic empowerment, and cultural inclusivity—the Coalition brings together residents, civic institutions, businesses, nonprofits, and indigenous partners to collaboratively shape a regenerative future. Our platform is designed to serve as a bridge—fostering better collaboration, communication, and alignment between residents, local government, local businesses, organizations, and the Taos Pueblo. We believe that by strengthening the health of our land, people, and economy, we can ensure that Taos County flourishes for current and future generations.

Mission: To co-create and implement a long-term, community-led, holistic strategy and platform for bioregional resilience, ecological sustainability, local economic vitality and cultural harmony —through collaborative leadership, trusted partnerships, and inclusive participation.

Vision: A resilient Taos County where thriving ecosystems, strong local economies, cultural diversity, and community collaboration create a flourishing bioregion for generations to come.

From Roots to Revival

From Roots to Revival is a transformative multimedia initiative and platform guiding humanity’s evolution from systems built on domination, scarcity, and separation to regenerative models rooted in abundance, equity, resilience, and interconnection.

By exploring the deep origins of our societal structures—economic, political, cultural, and technological—we illuminate how these systems were shaped, why they are unraveling, and how we can consciously redesign them to honor life, lineage, and future generations. We are doing this doing this with a combination of monthly essays, podcasts and wisdom councils (and eventually a book with integrated educational curriculum).

This initiative aims to:

  • Illuminate how systems were shaped by cosmology, conflict, and control
  • Catalyze healing and reconciliation between colonized and colonizing cultures
  • Inspire regenerative action through storytelling, education, and place-based implementation
  • Build a Global Network of Community Resilience Coalitions and Bioregional Resilience Hubs
  • Integrate and collaborate with the Quantum Intelligence (QII) and Hummingbird Initiatives
