The Amber Lotus Story

Amber Lotus Publishing is a carbon-negative independent publisher of mind body spirit themed calendars, greeting cards, journals, books, and wisdom decks. We create products that illuminate the sacred dimensions of everyday life — mindfulness, healthy lifestyles, and earth awareness. Sharing the diversity of world cultures and sacred traditions as well as the inspiration and beauty of the natural world is our passion.

Founded in 1988, our original purpose was generating funds to preserve the sacred culture of Tibet. While we still support Tibetan relief projects, we have expanded our mission and are continually guided by the principles of Right Livelihood — doing the greatest good with the least harm.

Amber Lotus is proud to be a carbon-negative company with a dedication to environmental stewardship. For 2014, your purchases have empowered us to plant 69 times more trees than are needed to produce our products. We planted 155,000 trees in 2014 which increased our total number of trees planted to 500,000! Read more about our tree planting milestone on our blog — Half a Million Trees, Art, Commerce, and Service.

Over the last two decades we have donated to a variety of worthy organizations such as Trees for the Future, NativeEnergy, International Campaign for Tibet, and Feed the Children. For more about our ongoing efforts to become better earth stewards, see our Environmental Statement.
