We aim to bring global awareness to the fact that the Amazon is in the 11th hour
And, since the Amazon is the lungs of the Earth, so are we!
(More than 20% of the world's oxygen is produced in the Amazon Rainforest)
THE AMAZON BASIN
The Amazon Basin is located in the
countries of Perú, Bolivia, Brazil, Columbia, Ecuador, Guyana and Venezuela. The Amazon rain forest is the largest in the world, covering about 3,179,720 sq mi with dense tropical forest. It has been called, The Lungs of the Earth, and James Cameron (see clip below) refers to the Amazon as:
"The Last Great Bastion of Nature."
The Amazon Basin is home to 50% of all species on Earth!
95%
of our North American old growth forests are gone, not to mention what
happened to the native peoples of North America. We can't allow what
happened in this continent to also occur to
the forests and indigenous people of South America!
OBJECTIVE
To provide community building, performing art shows,
made up of dancers, musicians and singers representing cultures
from around the world. To promote awareness of the need for humanity to avoid irreversible damage to our living, breathing Mother and to the
Peruvian Amazon in particular. To raise funds to help the indigenous
cultures of the Peruvian Amazon keep their ancestral lands and their medicinal plants which may one day provide cures to many of our modern day illnesses.
PROCEEDS
20% of the proceeds from this show will go to raise funds for the Amazon Rainforests of Peru
As we help the wisdom Keepers of Mother Earth, they also help us through sharing their medicinal plants and ancient Earth wisdom. These nations and their lands are being wiped out by illegal gold mining, oil drilling, mineral mining, cattle ranching, illegal logging and the knowledge of their elders and potential cures for many diseases (plant medicines) are being lost forever.
Mother Earth has not forgotten the native people of the Amazon
What we do to the Earth we do to ourselves

Let us give back to Pachamama (Mother Earth) who gives us life
Let us awaken and create a renewed, sacred relationship with our Mother
For she is a living breathing entity, alive and in need of our protection
Let us empower the feminine, the gateway to our hearts,
for in connecting to our hearts we heal the planet...
