Update: The exhibition opened at Christie’s in New York from 28th February until 4th March 2020. For London, the exhibition will open 15th February 2021 and the auction will take place on Thursday 18th February 2021.
Le Ciel Foundation in partnership with Christie's is hosting Wisdom and Nature, a fundraising exhibition and auction taking place in New York and London. Bringing together a collection of 55 artworks generously donated by artists and galleries from around the world, Wisdom and Nature reveals experiences and perceptions of interconnectivity, the beauty of our planet and the wisdom of its people.
In 2017, Le Ciel Foundation held the first Wisdom and Nature exhibition in London, Paris and New York. Providing an insight into cultures rooted in ancestral traditions and depicting the awe-inspiring Earth on which we all live as one interconnected ecosystem, the exhibition culminated in an auction raising $300,000 in aid of the Foundation. These funds have supported the realisation of several projects, notably, a meeting of twelve wisdom tradition Elders at the United Nations in New York and the Holistic Visions Symposium 2018. Donations of $10,000 were also contributed to the communities of each of the wisdom tradition Elders who took part in The Council of Twelve and Above. Funds raised during Wisdom and Nature 2020 will support the realisation of the many exciting initiatives Le Ciel Foundation is working on.

About Le Ciel Foundation
Dedicated to helping people navigate a global paradigm shift, UK based charity Le Ciel Foundation addresses humanity’s separation from nature and from its true nature. Bridging the know-how and ingenuity of modernity with the wisdom of ancestral traditions, we adopt a systems change approach to catalysing both individual and collective transformation. Guided by the knowledge and values of wisdom traditions, Le Ciel Foundation is supporting the emergence of a paradigm in which people, nature and all living beings can thrive.
