As this new year dawns, our resolutions bloom like seeds of intention. This is our gentle map for 2026 — to pause, to give thanks, to act with care, and to build bridges.

In the coming year, we’ll continue tending to our shared garden: nurturing our bonds with communities, watering our projects so they grow stronger, and planting even more seeds by welcoming new advocates into this movement.

Here’s to a year of rooted action and blossoming hope. Happy New Year!

🌱✨🤌

Tonight, we honor the natural cycles that sustain our very lives. We hold in mind the fisherfolk and farmers whose labor nourishes us. We give thanks to the forests and the soil for their boundless generosity.

We extend our deepest gratitude to every person whose dedication has made this season bright. And we offer our humble reverence to every plant and creature within our world’s precious web of life—a fragile, magnificent whole worthy of celebration.

We owe the earth flowers. Not as a payment, but as an offering between friends. We owe it secret jokes and fanciful words, murmured just for the wind to carry.

Look at how five years have turned. Can you see? The seeds we once cradled in our palms—so small and full of maybe—are now sturdy little seedlings. They stand together in the soil, holding all that time and sun in their new green selves. We know their journey is far from over. But ours is a map drawn in whimsy, and wonder is the compass we share.

To be held by this community is to be held by love, made real and rooted. This is our grove. So, from this grateful ground, let our thanks take root—for us, the dreamers who saw a forest in a seed. For us, the courageous who planted in the rain. For us, every kindred spirit who believes in the quiet magic of tending, together.

Celebrating FIVE YEARS on the frontlines for our planet! From grassroots action to global voices, this is just the beginning. Here's to the next chapter of impact. 🌿

How do you bring "home" to an international stage? Just ask our stellar Head of Membership and Leadership, Jam!

At the UNESCO Youth Assembly, she shared two profound stories from Barotac Viejo, Iloilo:
☀️ Suman Sapay – a taste of generations, preserving Lola Maria's family legacy.
☀️ Kape Nagpana – a brew of community resilience, cultivated by the Ati people of Nagpana.

Jam, you've shown us all that leadership is about carrying your roots with you and letting them shine. We are so incredibly proud! Congratulations! 🎉
