Mission:
Aurora Lights supports locally-based projects that strengthen the connections within and between human communities and their natural environment by pro-moting environmental and social action. Ultimately, we hope to restore a sense of the sacred balance between the Earth and the human community that will promote sustainable and thoughtful
land stewardship. 


Vision:
This mission is inspired by Aurora, the mythical Goddess of the Dawn.  Aurora hung the stars through the night to keep light shining until she rode across the sky in her chariot to pick up her brother, the sun.  In our times, Aurora Lights represent locally-inspired creative solutions to community problems:   

  We support education, reforestation, and gardening programs that bring people together to regain and retain balance with the natural community. 

   We work with artists to encourage creative expression that will inspire local communities to develop solutions to their environmental and social problems.

   We support local employment opportunities to ease tension on families who must otherwise migrate to urban centers to find employment.
