Thanks for inspirational and motivational speaker who has inspired me to make a better community.
A brother of my heart
I fully agree
I grew up in the 60th
Thanks a lot Albert for your life and inspiring talk.
I am one the seed planted and watered by Albert, florishing in the communities and network I has been funded and life on. THANKS.
I am really touch by the invitation to help Alberto in his current health situation and GEN desition to included it in this webpage.
In fact the same day this interview was recorded, the same day was announced Alberto’s diagnosis and crowd funding camping and I inmedialtly sent it to Kosha. Thanks GEN team. I wish many on line summit participant, all over the world would enjoy helping Albert and pray for him.
Coyote’s ideas are very clear. I love the idea of the rights of Mother Earth. I feel like the understanding of the people of the Andes about Patchamama has so much power at least partly because this system of thought has carried on through thousands of years of human history. It emerges out of a time when humanity was more intuitive and more connected to the the sun, the universe, the earth in all its sacred beauty, and this outlook can heal us today. It s a philosophy in touch with the vastness of of the natural world, and the seemingly endless universe, of which we are interwoven.
How delicious this Conference is! Having not discovered a community to live in, I recently considered leaving GEN. Then, three weeks ago swiss TV aired a documentary film over the notorious World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Knowing of Mumta Ito’s Rights of Nature effort I suggested to GEN Suisse that GEN should find a place on the Board of Trustees to promote Rights of Nature….so I got invited to your Summit conference….with Coyote I now have a much clearer understanding of the Rights of Nature movement. I imagine that Greta Thunberg with Fridays for Future is also participating in this conference….might she represent Rights of Mother Earth at the next WEF????
Earlier in this conference, someone cited this link:https://blog.usejournal.com/redesigning-economics-based-on-ecology-35a82f751f25 the author poses a few questions that I think Rights of Mother Earth would be best able to answer:
Q How can new rules in economics facilitate a fair sharing of, and a common responsibility for, the global commons?
Q How do we create monetary and economic systems where value is ultimately based on healthy ecosystem functioning and where ecological and social regeneration are structurally incentivized?
Q How can ecological literacy and learning from the rest of nature help us to redesign a more fitting economic system for a regenerative culture?
Thank you Alberto, I enjoyed your talk so much. Your vision was clear. I wish you good health.
Fuerza Alberto que los guardianes te ayuden a caminar con claridad. Desde el.valle de elqui, el Molle. El mismo que te recibió hace más de 20 años. Abrazos fraternos, Jallalla
What a beautiful presence and visions!!
Thank you for sharing this with us!
I take the “baston” with pleasure!
an old and deep thread of my heart has been blessed. the resonance of his message is undeniable. As Thomas Hubl says, coyote alberto ruz, is now alive inside me, for i have seen him and heard him speak. So much gratitude for his life, his knowing and visions, and his dedication…. I have been knowing these things for some time, but havent found my truest companions (yet!) It is all the work of a deep Mystery unfolding. Blessed Be our Mother .
I read of a previous post that Alberto was dealing with a “diagnosis” I wasnt aware of this and would like to help. if there is an organized effort,can you please make the information available? thanks so very much. meanwhile, I will pray for this incredible and gifted man. sincerely, diane
