Our Projects
The Ahimsa Project turns the principle of ahimsa, or non-harming, into action through projects that support people, communities, and the natural world.
Our work explores the connections between sustainable food systems, biodiversity conservation, environmental education, climate resilience, and community wellbeing. From planting trees and developing agroforestry systems to community composting and food-growing initiatives, each project begins with a simple question: How can we reduce harm while creating something that gives back?
Today, our work continues on Prince Edward Island through initiatives such as The Shared Table, while we develop new opportunities for research, education, conservation, and community engagement.
Different projects. Different places. One guiding principle: restore, protect, share.
REFORESTATION Berks County, PA
Our first project in 2024 will be reforesting a 1/2 acre at Kula Kamala Foundation and Yoga Ashram in Berks County, PA. The foundation has provided us with the space to reforest and as another measure to support their community. Together we are planting almost 200 trees and shrubs.
What our plantings will do for the community even in the early years?
-
Produce 576 lbs of Oxygen
-
Store 216 lbs of carbon
-
Save 5944 gallons of water evaporation
-
Cools the community (about 5 air conditioners working for 1000 hours!)
We will be focused on native plants and trees, which will include a mix of fruit and nut trees to be used by wildlife, as well as the foundation's kitchens, and to support their work with food donations for area food banks.
