Our mission

Expanding consciousness for environmental healing.

MISSION:
To facilitate the transfer of wisdom between indigenous peoples and the modern world through a celebration of culture, while empowering indigenous peoples to thrive as natural guardians of the environment via:
(1) Sacred Music Concerts
(2) Remote Cultural Immersion Experiences via Pop-up Village and Virtual Reality
(3) In partnership with Women’s Cooperatives to sell crafts, jewelry and artwork

What we do

THE REALITY:
(1) The single most effective way to reduce carbon emissions is to protect the rainforest that still exists. Protecting the Amazon is more effective than current worldwide efforts to reduce industrial emission’s and implement alternative energy sources combined.
(2) The biggest driver of deforestation is: Poverty.
(3) The best way to protect the Amazon rainforest is to empower the Indigenous People living there, in harmony with nature for thousands of years, to continue to thrive as natural guardians of their environment.

2-FOLD EMPOWERMENT STRATEGY:
(1) Economic Empowerment
Provide alternate, sustainable sources of income, critical to a community’s ability to protect themselves from the #1 driver of deforestation: poverty.

(2) Cultural Empowerment
The most important impact on an indigenous community’s health and wellbeing starts with its culture. Key findings across several international sources investigating the significance of Indigenous cultural festivals in wellbeing outcomes for Indigenous communities and their young people affirm that the continuation of festivals and ritual celebrations are critical to Indigenous communities’ for their contribution to community wellbeing, resilience and capacity.
