Our Guiding Principles
Culture & Tradition
We believe that this living being of culture and tradition must be continuously nurtured and allowed to evolve, recognizing that otherwise it would stagnate and die.
Honor
We honor the unique spiritual and cultural inheritance from which the Pennsylvania German healing traditions of Braucherei evolved. We are grateful to inherit a healing tradition, which honors and encompasses all of our history as a people ad all of our ancestors.
Education & Healing
We believe that education and healing are vital to all people, and we are dedicated to making this folk tradition available and accessible to all of its heirs
Resourcefulness
We seek to revive the resourcefulness of the traditional Pennsylvania German culture. We see this resourcefulness as the key to a sustainable future. Traditional Pennsylvania German agriculture recognizes the interdependence of all creation. We honor the respectful way in which this culture cares for the land and all of its creatures.
