vision

The Peaceable Kin-dom Educational and Charitable Trust is inspired by a vision of a world where human beings live, work, play and thrive in healthy, harmonious, sustainable, mutually enhancing relationships with each other, with all living beings, and with the natural world on which all life depends.

mission

The overarching mission of the Peaceable Kin-dom Educational and Charitable Trust is to provide a refuge for animals (domestic and farm) and
a healing place for people while promoting environmental stewardship. It advocates, creates and operates structures, projects, enterprises, events, and activities that connect human beings (HumAnimals), other Animals (domestic and farm animals, wildlife, birds, and aquatic animals), and the Earth (representing the rest of Nature), for mutual healing and increased wellbeing through compassionate, cooperative, sustainable, reciprocally empowering relationships and actions that promote the greatest good of all beings.

values

The core values and worldview embraced and promoted by the Peaceable Kin-dom Educational and Charitable Trust include:

Belief that the Earth (“Gaia”) and all that exists upon it, animate and inanimate, form an interrelated, interconnected, interdependent web in which any action in any part of the system, including action by human beings, has an important and far-reaching effect on the whole.

Awareness that the Earth and all living beings are constantly evolving and changing, and that conscious evolution on the part of HumAnimals is necessary for the survival and wellbeing of ALL species on the planet.

Belief that mutual respect, cooperation, collaboration, effective communication, continual personal growth, and creative conflict resolution are essential skills for HumAnimals to cultivate, amongst ourselves and in relation to other living beings and the rest of Nature on which all life depends.

Agreement with Mahatma Gandhi’s statement that “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”

Agreement with His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s statement that: “Life is as dear to a mute creature, as it is to humanity. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures.”
