The Mission of Solano Land Trust is to protect land to ensure a healthy environment, keep ranching and farming families on their properties, and inspire a love of the land.

​

The work we do goes beyond conserving land; it’s also about ensuring people’s relationship to the land remains strong. We are committed to building a conservation and stewardship ethic in our community by supporting values based on common ground and engaging the future leaders and land stewards who will come after us to take care of this land.

Access Adventure is about freedom. When we are not limited by the challenges we face, we are free to challenge our limits. Give wings to the dreams of people living with the challenges of disability.

The Institute for Poetic Medicine is dedicated to nurturing the human capacity
to connect to Self, Other, Community, the Natural World, and the Divine
through the healing, expressive art of poetry; what we describe as:

 Awakening soulfulness in the human voice.

The Institute for Poetic Medicine offers tools and support
to heal body, mind and spirit through the creative and therapeutic process
of hearing, speaking and writing poetry. 

Our mission is to bring divided communities together through collaborative community artwork inspired by Nature, healing heartbreak and laying the foundation for success in meeting community challenges.

The vision of the Unity Through Creativity Foundation is a world that is compassionate, connected, and creative. We bring these three qualities into everything we do in order to establish the foundations for understanding and lasting peace, locally and throughout the world. Just as literacy is considered a birthright, we view peace literacy as a birthright
