What is Behind the Name?
"SoftEarth," is Inspired by a Sioux Prayer
Grandfather, Great Spirit, all over the world the faces of living ones are alike.
With tenderness they have come up from the ground.
Look upon your children so they may face the winds
and walk the good road to the day of quiet.
Grandfather, Great Spirit, fill us with the light.
Give us the strength to understand
and the eyes to see.
Teach us to walk the soft earth as relatives to all that live.
***
SoftEarth connotes a peaceful place – like a beautiful sand beach at sunrise.
***
SoftEarth is a holistic, generative space to grow personally and professionally.
***
SoftEarth is a metaphor for the permeability of human nature, which exists in tandem with the norms that shape our lives.
***
When we soften around the edges of our norms, we tap into an inner, transcendent part of ourself
– human dignity –
that inspires us to see, understand, and accept one another.
