What’s Happening?

Launch of NatureSacred's online giving campaign, "We Belong"

NatureSacred just launched their first online giving campaign, “We Belong.” It runs until December 31 and highlights their Firesoul Network, Sacred Places, and their impacts on communities. The funding will support NatureSacred’s capacity for more gatherings and trainings, along with Network enhancement and enrichment grant funding.  


If you’d like to help support, we invite you to share your photo or story of your experience in our Sacred Place at UMBC, the Joseph Beuys Sculpture Park and tag @NatureSacred or you can donate to the “We Belong” campaign at naturesacred.org/belong

Land Acknowledgement

With social and environmental awareness at the core of our mission at the Joseph Beuys Sculpture Park, we find it critical to acknowledge the ancestral lands of the Piscataway Conoy and Susquehannock peoples that lived and continue to reside on the land that is now UMBC. Over the past 500 years, violence, displacement, and settlement has sought to erase and oppress Indigenous Peoples, their cultures, and their histories. We offer our respect to all past, present and future Indigenous people connected to this land and we strive to cultivate a space at the Joseph Beuys Sculpture Park that prioritizes community, dignity, mindfulness and personal wellness.
