Community Voices

Voices of support

We believe in this Founder, Learsi Lewis

To Whom It May Concern, We wholeheartedly support Mr. Learsi L. Lewis in his efforts to establish The Learsi Academy, Soul Rest Sanctuary, and Mystic Earth Apothecary—three visionary initiatives rooted in healing, empowerment, and sustainable community development. As individuals who have worked closely with Learsi or witnessed his growth over the years, we can affirm his unwavering commitment to transitional youth, environmental stewardship, and trauma-informed care. His work is driven by compassion and creativity, fusing disciplines ranging from regenerative agriculture to therapeutic education and Indigenous wisdom. • Clester Lewis, retired educator, and Ralph Lewis, retired social worker from Detroit, MI, have collaborated closely with Learsi. In their words: “His ability to connect across generations and disciplines, while staying rooted in his values, makes him the ideal founder for these sacred initiatives. We’ve seen his passion firsthand and trust fully in his vision.” • Additional supporters echo these sentiments, recognizing Learsi’s blend of artistry, leadership, and purpose. From community-based programming to youth mentorship, his projects reflect deep intentionality and a desire to uplift others. Together, we champion his efforts to secure land and resources for Phase One development and affirm his capacity to transform lives and landscapes. His dream is not just a blueprint—it is already becoming a movement. Sincerely, Clester Lewis Retired Educator Ralph Lewis Retired Social Worker
