An interdisciplinary education and artist collective that advances rights of nature and planetary stewardship. Our pieces and compositions focus on themes including the more-than-human, climate justice, connection to place, ecological grief, and the balance between fragility and resilience. It is deeply moving to collaborate with so many inspiring artists, here you can learn more about some of them. Federico Diaz, Agustin Uriburu, Nuci Nebieridze, Jacinta Clusellas and Benjamin Furman.
“Our planet is a pulsing body of life. Honoring Holocene is an EP of sonic poems that only very minimally begin to express my deep recognition of this animate Earth; my awe and astonishment for all its magic and wisdom of ecological connectivity.” These compositions are used within Educational Programs, Deep Ecology Installations, Contemplative Ecological Consciousness Sessions, and Climate Activism Curations.
Writing these pieces is also part of processing grief for that which is being lost or unattended, and the fragile relational tissue we must remember to continue weaving.
The artwork for our first EP was created by Jeanne Simmons, whose artworks profoundly evoke our entanglement, by so compellingly forging a physical braiding between Earth’s rich matter and our bodies.
Verte Volar: An Homage to Ancient Pollinators
"Verte Volar" is a new composition honoring the sacred relationship between humanity and stingless bees through an interdisciplinary partnership bridging ecology, law, poetry, and Indigenous ancestral knowledge. This spoken word and musical piece emerges from an unprecedented collaboration between Indigenous wisdom keepers, scientists, legal advocates, artists, and educators, weaving together diverse ways of knowing into a unified homage to Amazonian stingless bees.

These legislative transformations emerge from grassroots community work, through which the Declaration of the Rights of Stingless Bees was created and later adopted by local governments.

“In flight we find different shapes, in bodies we find different tastes
Ecosystems like our organs
One of many
Migrations above the lands, the seas, a wildlife corridor with no walls
Earth’s natural pulse
murmuration, murmuration…
A fluttering meditation.
In this dance we have been gifted to see
Akin to the rivers - arteries of the Earth”
This was created for Rights of River Campaigns, learn more.

We coexist biologically with the soil, with carbon cycles, with water cycles, and with all the trees and wetlands that hold an ingenious network of systems that have sustained sentient beings since the dawn of time. Shifting our ecological consciousness means looking deeply at the narratives that are all around us, spike our nervous systems, and result in ever more human-centric approaches to solving for climate change. To achieve real sustainability means explicitly emphasizing the role nature plays in our lives and existence, raising the ecological consciousness by advocating on behalf of nature itself as the holder of wisdom and the nuanced mechanisms to maintain the abundance of biodiversity as well as the balance of the magical Gaia. One of the ways we have found to communicate this nuance and beauty is through our artistic collaborations, if you are curious to commission a project with us or co-create something, please reach out.
If you are an artist, educator, rights of nature advocate or just a lover of biodiversity interested in joining our collective, please reach out. We are deeply interested in merging disciplines to move toward a system that centers ecological flourishing and community building.
