Mission
Our mission is to better humanity by embracing Kichwa and other cultural traditions that promote sustainable practices. We believe that by honoring these rich heritages, we can foster a deeper understanding of our connection to nature each other. Through education and promotion, we aim to spread this, empowering communities to adopt sustainable practices that benefit both people and the planet. Together we can create a brighter future rooted in respect for diverse cultures and environmental stewardship.
Core Values
At our core, we embrace mindfulness, which encourages us to be present aware in our actions. We are committed to sustainability, striving to protect our planet for future generations. Our focus on low impact living promotes a lifestyle that minimizes our ecological footprint. Above all, we hold a deep respect for nature and all individuals, fostering a community that values harmony and connection. That's why we chose our name of "Sumak Runa" which means "Beautiful/Harmonious Person" in Kichwa: because we believe every person can be a beautiful force of good on planet Earth.
