Blooming Biodiversity Peru Tour
Blooming Biodiversity Peru Tour
April 17 - June 1, 2016
The Blooming Biodiversity Tour is going to Peru!
We are excited to learn about the rainforest ecosystems, indigenous communities, traditional music and art, and regenerative activism, farming and building methods, applying the skills we learned during our West Coast tour.
By learning and sharing what we’ve learned, we intend to be a bridge from North to South America. This is part of the Eagle Condor prophecy from indigenous people across the Americas. It is a prophecy of social and ecological transformation, community building and recovery of ancient wisdom for the modern era.
We will be actively engaged in service work with a variety of Peruvian Non-Profit organizations, dedicated to social and ecological regeneration. We will begin our journey working with Arkana Alliance in a Shipibo Village upriver from Pucallpa called Santa Clara. We will be teaching afterschool programs with the Shipibo children, working in the garden with many medicinal plants and herbs, and working on documentary film projects.
Additionally, we have connected with, Amistad Sagrada, Nidra Wasi, Chakra de Alegra Rainforest Lodge, the Chaikuni Institute, the Paititi Institute, Casa de Luz, and individual indigenous Shipibo healers and activists. We will be working with some of these organizations on projects including: Permaculture farming/natural building, Documentary Filmmaking of activist projects with indigenous Shipibo communities, working with village children, building a school for Andean Quechua children, habitat restoration, and facilitating Embodying Permaculture, Earth Activist, and Expressive Music and Art workshops.

Our dream is to be a multidimensional healer, herbalist, expressive arts, wilderness, horticulture and mindfulness therapy focused Social Worker. We want to design my own intentional community Ecovillage focused on permaculture, biodynamics, indigenous and farming methods.

We envision magical gardens, art studio, yoga/workshop space, healing sanctuary, community kitchen, music room, outdoor stage, indoor theater, and community bath house.
Who Are We?
The Solutionaries are a diverse team of social-environmental activists, dedicated to co-creating a resilient and regenerative lifestyle for ourselves, our local and global community, our natural world, and future generations.

Anna’s Poetic Dedication
We are on a liberation journey.
Let’s free our people, plants and animals.
Mother Earth, we are humbled before you.
We embody colorful biodiversity.
When we dream big, we manifest our highest reality.
Everything is one, all is interconnected.
You are perfect as you are.
You are blossoming in my eyes.
Your purity is so profound, it radiates to all beings.
We are on this healing journey together.
Let’s take a deep breath, and harmonize our realities.
Be grateful to be in the dance of life.
We are not confined.
We are coexisting with deep awareness of each other’s needs and interdependence.
We are here to support each other.
When we go inside, we find clarity on our life’s purpose.
My purpose is to share my love for this planet and all beings through my creativity and service.
In supporting the communities, honoring the needs of all plants and animals.
This is very clear.
We already have all the answers we’ve been waiting for
Let’s learn from each other.
From all cultures.
Remembering the cycle, the message is so clear.
When we release resistance, there is nothing to fear.
It’s all life lessons, we are growing every day.
The message is within us, may we honor it in a sacred way.
Let’s illuminate and liberate.
Now is the time to co-create.
Let’s begin to regenerate.
