The foundation's GitHub home and this changelog get their own look: the canopy at first light
TL;DR: The entry portal, this changelog, and the library were redesigned around one image from the foundation's own teaching: two vine strands — sky blue for A Course in Miracles, gold for the plant medicine traditions — twining upward until they become one. Deep canopy greens by default, a morning-mist light mode, easier reading, and nothing removed.

Why a vine
The Holy Earth Foundation’s teaching brings two traditions together: the Eagle (A Course in Miracles) and the Condor (the plant medicine traditions), meeting in the Barn Owl’s single-mindedness. The ayahuasca vine itself grows as two strands wound around each other, so the new design draws exactly that: a sky-blue strand and a gold strand that start apart at the root, twine their way up, and meet at a single point of light at the top. It grows in once when a page first loads (and appears already grown for anyone who prefers reduced motion).
What changed
- Colors from the forest, not from a template: deep canopy green with firefly-colored stars in the dark theme (still the default); a cool morning-mist light theme with leaf greens.
- Easier long reading: body text is now set in Literata, a typeface designed for reading on screens. Headings keep the foundation’s own PapyrusStd, with its credit still in the footer.
- The changelog reads like a vine: each project’s entries now hang off a twining timeline, newest at the top. The project page shows each project’s latest entry at a glance, and projects that haven’t shipped anything yet sit together under “Still taking root.”
- Phones: the always-visible footer is now one swipeable row instead of four stacked lines, so it takes far less of the screen.
- A new project bucket, “The Foundation’s GitHub home,” for changes to these sites themselves — starting with this one.
What didn’t change
Every entry, every library write-up, every link, the light/dark toggle, the search and priority filters, and the social-preview images are all exactly where they were.
