Heirloom Culture is an organization born of the question, 

"What does it mean to be a human being on this Earth?"

"Where do we come from?"

"Where are we going?"

"Why are we here?"

How do cultural narratives developed in the forgotten past and all the way up until today influence us in our everyday lives?

Of these often unquestioned influences and assumptions, what is beneficial for humanity and the web of life we are embedded in, and what is being asked to transform at this time?

At Heirloom Culture we believe in the synergy of Prayer, Work, Family, Community and Culture to be the ways to integrate humanity back into the balance of life on this Earth. 

We will be launching a Podcast and on-the-ground workshops, to explore different modes of deconstructing harmful patterns passed on from the modern cultural narrative and ways to move forward into more holistic and harmonious ways of being.

Through the Heirloomculture.net website we provide a place where traditional craftspeople and other artists can share their work. This is done with the intention of bringing an appreciation to art that is meant to be passed on to the next generation.

Through these explorations we strive to be a force in harmony with the changing times while still connected to the deep wisdom of the past.
