Piompiri in Pucallpa, Peru is a healing sanctuary and center, dedicated to the preservation of the ancient medicines and traditions of the Amazon. In September, devastating wildfires tore through the land, destroying much of the surrounding jungle, including their property and sacred spaces. The jungle is not only their home but a sanctuary for those who come to heal. At this time, wildfires are ravaging large areas of the Amazon, directly impacting Indigenous communities, forests, and biodiversity. The Amazon’s biodiversity is critical for the survival of the ecosystem and the planet as a whole. The Amazon fire emergency, like the climate crisis exacerbating it, is entirely man-made, caused by deforestation. What has become an annual nightmare for the forest and its inhabitants can only be solved by guaranteeing the permanent protection of Indigenous and traditional lands, and banning the further expansion of industrial development, resource extraction and organized crime in the region.
Youth vs Apocalypse is a diverse group of young climate justice activists working together to lift the voices of youth, in particular youth of color and working-class youth. Their collective action aims to fight for a livable climate and an equitable, sustainable, and just world. Their Hip Hop & Climate Justice Initiative focuses on engaging youth in the climate justice movement through different forms of hip hop and creative expression.
Seva Foundation was founded in 1978 by a small group of medical professionals, counterculture activists, musicians, and compassionate individuals, all dedicated to helping others. Most notably among them were public health expert Dr. Larry Brilliant, spiritual leader Ram Dass, and humanitarian activist Wavy Gravy. They had many ideas on how to best serve people and worked with various community building projects around the world, but ultimately decided to dedicate themselves to ending curable blindness. As an old Nepali saying goes, “a person who cannot see is like a mouth without hands.” Since high-quality eye surgery can be done so affordably, restoring sight is one of the most cost-effective ways to relieve suffering and reduce poverty. Seva has provided sight-saving surgeries, eyeglasses, medicine, and other eye care services to 57 million people in under-served communities.

Daily Acts – To survive climate change, we must focus on the solutions that help reduce it as well as adapt to changes that are already happening. Daily Acts connects people and builds community through education, action, and policy change that address the climate crisis. Since their beginning in 2002, Daily Acts has inspired tens of thousands of resilience-building projects, built civic engagement through their Leadership Institute for Just and Resilient Communities, installed dozens of demonstration gardens for fire survivors, previously homeless veterans, and schools, and launched new coalitions and programs to support the environmental health needs of vulnerable populations.
Creating Our Future – Created by Sat Sangtok Khalsa, COF works with those who wish to be, or are engaged in, working for social change. They create workshops, that are a healing and transformative experience for participants as a means to awaken and/or support an understanding of “spiritual activism,” (acting for change from a place of spiritual practice and heartfulness); create community as a place from which to work (collectively or separately) and share support with one another. Recognizing that, as a species, we are in a collective race between our ability to destroy ourselves, and our learning how to love one another. Creating Our Future is a part of, and a contributor to, the work of creating a planetary shift in consciousness. They are committed to spreading the Creating Our Future experience as widely as possible.
