To Our Beloved Community,
At the Tree of Life Interfaith Sanctuary (TOLIS), we awaken to a world where the rights and well-being of transgender, non-binary individuals, and women with reproductive health needs are under threat. We face a world darkened by hatred, genocide, and the ever-present dangers of complacency. Hatred festers both within our communities and beyond, casting a shadow on our shared future. Now, more than ever, we must keep the flame alive; we carry the torch for future generations.
Our Commitment
TOLIS remains steadfast in our commitment to fostering safe, loving, and unconditionally cherished spaces for all people to live and love in. We will continue to honor our relationship with our lover, Mother Earth and work tirelessly to protect Her.
Our threefold vision—establishing Land Sanctuaries, preserving Elder Wisdom, and supporting leadership—is more crucial than ever. We are actively developing Land Sanctuaries in Washington and New Mexico and invite others to join our network to collaborate and share resources. We are dedicated to gathering and sharing the wisdom of elders, and creating spaces for intergenerational, interfaith dialogue and learning. Additionally, we offer support and mentorship to emerging leaders, fostering a community of growth and empowerment.
How You Can Help
To sustain and grow our work, we invite you to join us in the following ways:
Attend Fridays for Freedom Calls:Â Join us on Zoom on 2nd Fridays at 4p PT / 5p MT / 6p CT / 7p ETÂ to discuss strategies, share resources, and connect with like-minded individuals. The first one will be tomorrow to support us all with adjusting to the news of a new president, with his administration and its agenda. Link will stay the same: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/6914953712.Â
Join our association. Together we are stronger and more resilient.
