Uniting in service of Amazonia

Online Festival, December 4th, 5th, 6th

Turn on, tune in, and rise up. Join Forest.ink for 3 days of yoga, breath-work, music, dance, and discussions to heal the self and to remember how to care for our planet’s rainforests.

We will share practices, techniques, and perspectives to connect deeper with your inner self, and in doing so revisit our bonds with the natural world.

Learn how we can adjust our daily habits to live a life more in-tune with nature, where we can support its existence, growth, and wonder.

Register here

Uniting in Service is completely free to join & participate. We are kindly suggesting a donation in the magnitude of your enjoyment, enrichment, and your ability. Perhaps a 10€ fits your experience and budget, or perhaps 100€ is a closer fit, it is as you feel. Thank you for helping conserve our planet!

Donate with PayPal

Donate to our GoFundMe campaign

All donations are sent to Bosque Medicinal, our sister project. The funds are then used to build a nature reservation by buying land in the Ecuadorian Amazonian rainforest. Currently Bosque Medicinal is in the process of buying Jardin de las Rosas, expanding the existing reserve and adding a protective buffer zone. To finish this purchase, we need to raise $30,000, and thank you for helping us get there.
