Welcome & Introduction

On this website, together we all can honor the diverse cultures throughout the world which exist today and throughout thousands of years in our collective past.

Many cultures throughout history have recognized the power of stories. Even before language, stories have been told through gestures or facial expressions, through drawings on walls or in the sand, and also through music and dance - later through words and songs. In sharing these various forms of communication, humans have been able to recognize similarities and differences in each other.

On this web site we hope to celebrate our diversity through sharing some of the countless stories throughout the generations. We also intend to focus on the more positive stories which may bring us good energy to pass on to our fellow companions and to future generations.

We acknowledge that each person on the planet has an unique history comprised of a certain physical environment, as well as living around other people. We celebrate those unique and diverse elements.

Each person can share a story of their own. It may be your story or from one of your ancestors. Some stories are very simple and others are complex. In all cases, we do not plan to edit or comment on another person’s story.

The story has value when it is shared with others.

Now more than ever, we need to be resilient. Part of that resilience is being flexible. Rigid structures break. Flexible structures bend.

Sometimes we are given an environment and we choose to make a radical change – those changes can be seen as “Stepping Stones” to get us to where we are today.
