a kula way of doing things

Derived from Sanskrit, Kula loosely refers to "part of a village" and conveys a deep sense of belonging and trust. At the heart of Kula, lies the vision of a paradigm where humanity belongs and thrives in harmony with the natural world. Through systems research, program design, and monitoring and evaluation support, we hold space to catalyze nature-based solutions, and document the toolkits and case studies that make these replicable across bioregions.
