Following an traditional Native American blessing ceremony in August 2022, SIMPLY Shenandoah Mark Marburg Co-Founder remarked,
"As we have grown and evolved our understanding of Simply Shenandoah’s core values, we recognize these past and present efforts to eradicate Native American culture are the opposite of what we are trying to accomplish. Deeply engrained within our regenerative philosophy is a focus on practicing and sharing traditional approaches for sacred living that deeply respect Mother Earth and her various plant/animal/fungal kingdoms (including the entire human family).
"We appreciate how Indigenous cultures behave with a reverence for all living systems – considering both a decision’s current impact as well as how it will affect seven generations into the future. These practices have stood the test of time, and we find Native American teachings holistic and inspiring. As one example, these guiding principles and processes for building a sustainable and prosperous world are quite valuable."
