“All people, all living things, are part of the earth life, and so are sacred. No one of us stands higher or lower than any other. Only justice can assure balance; only ecological balance can sustain freedom. Only in freedom can that fifth sacred thing we call spirit flourish in its full diversity. To honor the sacred is to create conditions in which nourishment, sustenance, habitat, knowledge, freedom, and beauty can thrive. To honor the sacred is to make love possible. To this we dedicate our curiosity, our will, our courage, our silences, and our voices. To this we dedicate our lives.”

- Starhawk, The Fifth Sacred Thing

Our Logo was designed as part of a class project by students at Santa Fe Community College’s Graphic Design program. Approximately 20 students each designed logos, letter head, signage, gift certificates and advertising. We then had the difficult job of choosing from among all of their incredible designs. The final design was chosen from among three finalists by our customers. The design chosen was created by Lynn Stuart.
