What We Do
We are building the most powerful knowledge and collaboration tools possible to magnify the efforts of all projects working to bring humanity back into balance with nature.
Upward Spirals teaches people how to better work together and how to create healthy, sustainable communities. Through upgrading our economic and food systems, we can do a better job providing for the needs of people and nature. By empowering cooperative sharing economies we are assisting people to successfully carry out alternative methods of living enriching, sustainable lifestyles.
Our mission is to increase the efficacy of environmental leadership and education via facilitating collaboration, resource sharing, and skills development.
We believe that by working effectively together, and sharing our knowledge and resources with each other, our entire movement can be much more impactful. So we focus on building tools and systems that make it easy for us to work together on projects and that help us learn from each other. These tools assist worldchanging projects and communities to maximize their efficiency in order to collaboratively create the future we want to see; a more healthy , thriving , and regenerative society for ourselves and generations to come.
We provide workshops, think tank services, strategic, financial and marketing advisory services to catalyze leadership efficacy in sustainability. We are spreading knowledge of best practices, facilitating strategic partnerships, and advancing systemic thinking across the environmental movement.
We are designing a self-replicating training center that will train educators, leaders, activists, organizers and students in the skills needed to most effectively advance sustainability. Deeply synergistic these centers will make protecting critical ecosystems profitable and will advance more than a dozen critical sustainability goals.
We are achieving our mission and objectives by inviting passionate, talented, caring, helpers to the team as fast as we can grow. We are building a network of experts and teachers with system-changing ideas and empowering them with the resources, technologies, knowledge capital and support infrastructure to implement them. We have started building a Solution Implementation Engine; a free online tool that will quickly help people learn about the systemic challenges we face, build skills they need to address them on multiple levels, and give them the resources, organizational efficiency and strategic direction they need to create real change.
Ultimately, we are advancing systemic thinking throughout the sustainability transition, and building the collaborative networks that are needed to effectively reduce our species’ impact on the planet. The end goal of our projects is a globally networked, mutually supportive, open-source, self-replicating team of passionate world changers operating the most powerful sustainability project management and skills development tool ever made.
