Guardians Around The Earth, a volunteer run 501c3 public charity, whose mission provides educational and support service to Guardians worldwide. Founded: 2007.
GATE started as a drop, an idea by Bellezza Squillace. She noticed those caring for others drained of energy. Stress decreased effectiveness. GATE was founded to help those who help others by rebuilding links with Nature.
Nature heals. Nature calms and rejuvenates the soul.
GATE co-founder Marisa Folse added another idea, a flow. If we teach proper care for our environment and start early, then we support future Earth Guardians.
GATE began with silent retreats offering full day respite to care providers. Services changed over time as needed with volunteer driven focus. Covid-19 sharpened GATE efforts to promote sustainable environment care and education.
Now, post-Covid, GATE returns to our origin. Offering support for Guardians serving others. Read more HERE on our Programs Page.
Guardians: you dedicate your life to nurturing our environment, strengthening communities, and/or caring for families. We support you!
GATE’s overall focus is to promote deep healing connections with Nature through our educational and enrichment programs.
Reboot, Reconnect, Tune In and Reactivate Programs (run by Marisa Folse) provide wilderness excursions, education and action.
Administrative oversight (provided by AJ Williams) keeps GATE’s tech, outreach and fiscal activities current. AJ also runs Life Skills and Empowerment Programs helping build ethical and intuitive survivors.
We at GATE mourn the 2024 loss of our founding Executive Director – Bellezza Squillace. Pictured below walking a labyrinth. Her dedication and service to Guardians worldwide was profound.
