The Tao Te Ching is an ancient classic by Lao Tzu. A source of timeless wisdom, it guides us to be rooted in a deep awareness of unity as the way to gracefully navigate the chaos and complexity of life.

The Tao of Movement Building applies the essential principles of the Tao – listening deeply, allowing nature to unfold of its own accord,
and understanding paradox – to the work of changemaking.

“Movements that truly nourish equity, justice, holistic health, and well being; are rooted in sacred silence.”

It’s time to forge a new path—one rooted in connection, reciprocity, and action.

More and more of us are awakening to the need for bioregional solutions, intercultural healing, and deep relationship with the Earth. We recognize that the dominant systems of exploitation and disconnection have led us to the brink—climate crisis, social fragmentation, and the loss of ancestral wisdom. But there is another way.

At Alliance for a Viable Future, we are building alliances and developing leadership to steward a future that is compassionate, sustainable, and deeply rooted in Indigenous principles of community and living systems. Through council-based programs, community gatherings, and ongoing collaboration, we are cultivating courageous leadership and regenerative solutions in the Berkshires and across the Northeast bioregion.

The time is now—to listen, to learn, and to act in service of the generations to come. Join us in weaving a viable future, together.
