Reestablishing Kinship with All Life in a Time of Chaos

By Leah Rampy

"This powerful being, so seldom seen by most of us, leaves us breathless. I look at the faces, each one with huge smiles of pure joy. “Did you see that? Did you see that?” The sky, the sea, the birds, the humpbacks, all create a symphony of beauty and connection that captures us fully and completely. Everything exists only in this time, this place."

By Andrea Mathieson

Before energy manifests as form it lives as a frequency, a vibrating song within a womb of silence.

This collective deafness reinforces the belief that the Earth is mute.
