Nature Sacred

Modern life can sever our bond with nature—yet, when reconnected, powerful things happen. Health improves, spirits are lifted, communities unify. Guided by this notion, we have honed a unique approach to infuse open greenspaces into cities in ways that are meaningful, obtainable and impactful. This is Nature Sacred—formerly known as the TKF Foundation. Over the past 20 years, we've worked side-by-side with over 130 communities across the country—underserved urban neighborhoods; communities devastated by disaster; prisons; hospitals—to define a formula that brings nature to its people effectively. In ways that foster respite. Solace. Renewal. And a restored sense of pride and promise. The results have been profound. Inspired by the community results, we recently embarked on a 5 year research study—the Nature Sacred Awards Program—now drawing to a close. Our intent has been to bring the best and brightest scientists and researchers together to closely study the impact nature has on our minds, bodies and spirits—how it scientifically benefits us. It's bringing the data to support what we've known to be true all along—nature heals. In powerful ways. Backed by science, inspired by design and fueled by the communities we serve: this is Nature Sacred—a belief, a formula, a proven solution to help individuals and communities heal, restore and thrive. Learn about how to create a Sacred Place in your community; hear the stories from the communities nature has touched; learn about the science behind it. And join us in this exciting, positive movement.
