Are you maintaining a Sacred Space at your local Occupation? - help keep our movement rooted in LOVE

I've been thinking about how powerful and potentially game-changing it would be to (re)connect those members of occupations across the world who are sharing the idea of promoting sacred practice in different forms, to have way to share inspirations, tools, and to synchronize our actions and intentions for maximum effect!

I am grateful to reconnect with you.

Ways to help the Amazon Mycorenewal Project

In less than a month, I will be down in Ecuador with the Amazon Mycorenewal Project. We are an international interspecies alliance working to heal the oil-polluted rainforest with the power of mushrooms. As explained in a previous post this is a one-of-a-kind ground-healing effort to apply recent advances in mushroom science (mycology) to break down and remove environmental toxins.
