Life starts from and ends as spirit.
Ignoring or not realizing or undermining this reality is the first and the deadliest human sin that has brought about catastrophe to this life.

We at Eloma Gardens believe that there is nothing or nobody or no being exists in the absence of spirit. No spirit means nothing, and if there is something then it means there is spirit.

Melanesian peoples believe that everything starts and ends as spirit as are narrated in Melanesian storylines.

Nature is us! We are not doing good to nature, but to ourselves!

Separating humans from the rest of nature is the second deadliest sin human beings have committed that have brought about catastrophe to this life. We promote practices that demonstrate human beings as inseparable part of nature.

We Melanesian tribes believe that we are nature ourselves, as we can never exist without other communities of beings.

Melanesian tribes believe that life is a collective interaction and inter-relatedness of all communities of beings. Therefore, we ARE Nature!

Every individual being or species has stories.
Every life has a story. Life without stories has no life.

Edloma Gardens host places of storytelling to help humans have clear pictures of life of humans and of all communities of beings.

Stories in all human cultures as well as in all communities of beings clearly and complete map out the image of every culture, beings, and communities.

Melanesian tribes promote separated and autonomous families, clans, villages and islands as equals

Harmony rules when everything is in balance. Every being came into existence as an act of balancing.

To promote balance in life among human beings, we Melanesian peoples practice “Agun-Agwe” or “Wita-Waya” system of living, where the “fire” and “water” elements in display. The fire element waters life, and the water element burns life. This is the way to enjoy the pure balance.

To promote balance in life with other communities of beings, we Melanesian peoples believe that every being has “spirit”, therefore, human beings are limited in actions against other communities of beings.

Customary Laws ensures spirit, nature and people live in balance, inter-related and inter-dependent.
