The Totem of Tierra Iris
The Totem of Tierra Iris embodies the profound interconnectedness between the individual, community, and the wider natural world, encompassing animal, plant, and even atmospheric life. Rooted in the ancient principle of Totemism, it gestures towards a dynamic co-naturality, where humans and their environment exist not as separate entities but as interwoven expressions of a shared essence.
This totem serves as a visual and conceptual emblem of relational existence, reminding us that identity is never singular or isolated but always emergent within a matrix of living relations. It evokes a world where boundaries between species dissolve, and kinship extends beyond the human to embrace the myriad forms of life that sustain and shape us.
In this recognition of co-naturality, the Totem of Tierra Iris invites reflection on how we inhabit the earth not as dominators but as participants in a collective becoming. It points toward a renewed understanding of belonging, responsibility, and harmony a call to attune ourselves to the rhythms and needs of the entire living world.
Land Regeneration in the words of Tierra Iris
Tierra Iris began with the purpose of regenerating soil and it has remained the heart of what we do. We truly believe that in healing the land, we will gain inexplicable teachings of life, as the soil heals us in return. Syntropic farming is the method of agroforestry we are practicing on our land focusing on the natural ways of Nature and letting her powers truly shine through instead of controlling it.
We have learned that plants work as community with the principles of unconditional love, all the life forms on the farm come together to create a unified, intelligent living system which evolves in a way to benefit the system as a whole.
