The Earth is a Oneness Idea
L.A.-based social activist and community leader Orland Bishop explains that a cultural worldview that fails to recognize earth's primal qualities can only produce violence. Evoking transformative ideas such as foundation, stability, abundance, accessibility, reconciliation, and peace, says Orland, allows a human being to move beyond limitation and conflict into one's true non-violent nature.
Orland Bishop is the founder and director of ShadeTree Multicultural Foundation in Los Angeles, where he has pioneered
approaches to urban truces and mentoring at-risk youth that combine new
ideas with traditional ways of knowledge. ShadeTree serves as an
intentional community of mentors, elders, teachers, artists, healers
and advocates for the healthy development of children and youth.
Orland's work in healing and human development is framed by an
extensive study of medicine, naturopathy, psychology and indigenous
cosmologies, primarily those of South and West Africa.
