She belongs to all of us…

Recently, we met an AMAZING organization called “Pachamama”
that offers people of ALL ages and ORIGINS  the chance to learn, connect and engage to create a sustainable future that works for all.

Did you know that “Pachamama” literally translates to Mother Earth?  To the indigenous people of the Andes, it has a much deeper, larger meaning—the Earth, sky, universe, and all time. Peruvian spiritual teacher and ceremonial leader, Arkan Lushwala has allowed himself to be photographed for the first time ever, to share this video with you!

“More than ever, we need to remember that the Earth is our Mother. We have been hurting our own Mother.” – Arkan Lushwala 

Think of your own human mother, within whose body you were formed, who fed you when you could not feed yourself, and who protected you when you were small and helpless. Mother Earth creates new life, nourishes us, and protects us every day. We must take care of our Mother Earth with the same compassion that we would show to our human mother. As species, we’ve grown forgetful of this simple truth. YOU can change that today!
