Crowdfund: Canto Luz Community

All around the world our sacred forests and jungles are being devastated. Due to the innate biodiversity of a mature rain forest, once it is gone it is irreplaceable – its flora, fauna and who knows how many unlocked secrets and cures are at risk of being lost to us. Yet, when we are clear about our intentions, fate sometimes steps in and deals us a new hand. What would you do if you found yourself suddenly gifted 1500 acres (600 hectares) of untouched land deep in the Peruvian rain forest? We found ourselves in exactly this situation.

Canto Luz ( Spanish Canto – song, Luz – light) is a tree house retreat center devoted to self-healing, environmentalism, supporting traditional plant medicine practices (eg. Ayahuasca), eco-tourism and sustainable living. Dreamed into life by Mariya Garnet and Sara Mason, their passion for conservation and transformational healing united them in preserving 1500 acres of Peruvian Amazon through shamanic practices of the jungle. Canto Luz’s goal is to protect and celebrate the jungle as well as to spread the message and tools of conservation to the community beyond.

Canto Luz is a collective of people united by similar goals and dreams. We are reaching out to like minds and hearts to connect in our healing capacity TOGETHER. We are building our life among the trees of the Amazon and welcome all visitor as family. The Jungle is our host. We invite you into our dream and welcome your input! Your support in our development is crucial. We express gratitude to you and Pachamama by ensuring that sustainable practices are employed on this land, our connections with you are maintained through regular vivid updates and that Canto Luz’s services will be openly accessible for your long or short term, thoughtfully designed adventures.

Canto Luz will offer unique sustainable tree house lodging, uniting everyone with nature. A bird’s eye view! We anticipate this immersion will inspire others to adopt more sustainable and conscious-living practices as well as to resonate with the knowledge and culture of the people populating this delicate region.

Canto Luz will offer a chance to grow the rain forest rather than seeing it destroyed. With conservation at heart, we extend personal healing and responsibility to the planetary level by protecting 1500 acres of land from illegal logging, mining and hunting. We are currently working with 2 bio-researchers whose aim is to better understand the inner workings of primary rainforest. Together we are developing various programs for re-integration of endangered species into their natural habitat. As a way to preserve the traditional knowledge of this outstanding jungle library we are working to offer exchange programs between herbalists of the Western world with indigenous Amazonian curanderos (shamans).
