Capacity Building & Partnerships

Loka convenes, organizes, and builds networks that help communities of faith design and build their own environmental and climate efforts. We provide focused training in the areas of environmental protection, climate change, and sustainable living to faith leaders and communities of faith and support on strategic planning, communications and project design. Convenings are informed by what our faith partners inform us are their priorities. Loka currently works closely with Evangelical church leaders in the US and around the world, with Indigenous elders and knowledge holders around the world and from Indian tribes of Wisconsin, and with Tibetan Buddhist monastics in the Himalayas.

Some of our ongoing projects with faith leaders & indigenous communities

  • Creation at the Crossroads

  • Sacred Wisdom Sacred Earth

"At the core, Indigenous knowledge is about protecting the needs of future generations. We don’t need all these modern conveniences and financial profits if it means destroying the environment. The price is too great for future generations to bear."
