Our vision
A world cooperating and thriving by embracing the awareness and embodiment of Natural Law.
About the founder
Established in 2023 by Zach Bush MD, an internationally recognized educator and thought leader on the microbiome as it relates to health, disease, and food systems. His scientific perspective and life experience from his decades of exploration in human and planetary health elucidate the laws of nature that determine the micro to macro systems of life. His passion for education reaches across many disciplines, including topics such as the role of soil and water ecosystems in human genomics, immunity, and gut/brain health. He founded *Seraphic Group and the non-profit Farmer’s Footprint to develop root-cause solutions for human and ecological health.
We are a living, breathing organization.
We are still in a listening phase as we move our first projects into the public space and gather thought leadership from many corners of the globe.
We are holding space as an operational team, and a growing network of partners to allow for an emergent example of living systems thinking. We are fertilizing the soil, planting seeds where there are swales and allowing what is native to grow abundantly.
We believe this can provide a template for other industries to create and adopt similar models of nature-centric identity and productivity for individual, organizational and human systems.
We often ask ourselves, is the whole world better if an initiative exists? If the answer is yes, we amplify it.
