SUSTAINABILITY

Rather than simply limiting economic growth or reducing our impact, we celebrate the legacy of an area’s ecology.  Most traditional medicine is rooted in nurturing environments. Wholesome environments support health.  We find that when we approach our business by asking, "How can we grow prosperity, celebrate our community, and enhance the health of all?" the results are far more positive and enriching.  We do not measure performance against a single bottom line standard. 

Our model is different because it reintroduces indigenous life instead of replacing it with something else.  It sustains indigenous life through honourable use of the place, of indigenous knowledge, and by educating visitors how to use it.  This is a shift from the triple bottom line to the Triple TOP Line — a concept which moves accountability to the beginning of the operation, design process and assigning value to a multiplicity of economic, ecological and

social questions.
