 Turtle Island is an ancient and archetypal image to describe both human nature, and our home, the Mother Earth. Indigenous cultures worldwide remember when, in Creation, Star Woman fell through a hole in the sky. This visitor from Heaven was caught by winged creatures and put on Great Turtle's back. Together, all creatures made the Earth as a resting place for this Sky Woman.
We are stardust. Huemans are generations of children descended from Sky Woman.
 EyeLand is about consciousness. While an "island" is a place in physical geography, "eyeland" is our state of mind. Turtle EyeLand is about our condition of awareness of Nature, including our human nature, and our quality of attention to be present and participate in Nature.
 Sanctuary is refuge to retreat, reflect and regenerate—a sacred space to reconnect with nature, self and spirit. The Earth is our Mother ship—a safe haven of refuge for Humanity to cooperate in community with Nature—all our relations. If we are gentle, generous and grateful, everything we need for our journey on Earth is provided.
