Our Global Community
“One thing seems certain in the work of bringing forth a new human presence on Earth; no one organisation is going to pull this off on their own. This is a time for alliances and partnerships; this will be the era of collaboration and co-creation, not of solo efforts and individual achievements.” The Pachamama Alliance
Affiliation: to bring a person or group into a close relationship with another, usually larger, group. To create a relationship or connection.Community: a neighbourhood with common interests. Involving a sense of kinship, cooperation and unity.
Consciousness: the state of being awake and aware of what is going on around you (and I would add responding to this awareness with love and wisdom).
It is the policy of this business to donate a percentage of annual income to organisations that represent the above aims, either locally or globally. I have chosen the following organisations because in addition to instilling the principles of affiliation and community, they have demonstrated another vital quality: they are living examples of how the world can look if we bring consciousness to our activity here on Earth.
I have not been asked to publish this information. Their contact and website information is given in the interests of true affiliation, community and consciousness. In other words, I am happy to spread good news.

Organisations that inspire us:
The Institute of HeartMath
The Institute of HeartMath, a nonprofit 501(c)(3),is a recognized global leader in researching the critical link among emotions, heart-brain communication and cognitive function. IHM’s 16 years of research, with the insight of founder Doc Childre, into heart intelligence is the foundation of our practical, scientifically validated solutions. These solutions are aimed at empowering people to reduce stress, fine-tune performance in all areas of their lives and foster greater health, well-being and their innermost sense of self.
This newfound empowerment is a result of their ability to access a greater portion of their heart's intelligence which is the purpose of our solution set. Improved accessibility of heart intelligence prepares individuals to connect better with others and co-create a more coherent environment in the classroom, the workplace, the home, and ultimately,our planet

Bioneers
'Revolution From the Heart of Nature'
Bioneers is inspiring a shift to live on Earth in ways that honor the web of life, each other and future generations. Founder Kenny Ausubel coined the word bioneers in 1990 to describe an emerging culture of social and scientific innovators who are mimicking nature's operating instructions to serve human ends while enriching the web of life. We take a "solve-the-whole-problem" approach: Taking care of nature means taking care of people - and taking care of people means taking care of nature.
