The Philosophy and Its Foundations

The Orchid Initiative, a philosophy of personal individuality – stems from experiences and an exploratory personal journey by our founder. She began reimagining her own personal beliefs; changing from an ‘individual’ (monopodial) mindset to a more ‘collective’ (sympodial) mindset. Her fascination with orchids, allowed for a symbolic perspective into the newfound philosophy.

This philosophy gives people the ability to think collectively in support of each others’ ideas. We use orchids to represent our personal individuality, as a whole.
