It is our honor to be of service.

REGIONALLY, we perform, teach and document sacred spiritual and meditational music for the benefit of community and private events.

In 2007, we participated in tranquil events such as the annual "Hiroshima to Hope" floating lantern ceremony, a memorial, and the consecration of a meditation garden gong.  Concerts included a benefit for the Theosophical Society.
 
INTERNATIONALLY, our music is downloaded and listened to continuously around the planet, and this year our first CD reached a #1 ranking.

 

   
 
 
We have funded the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund and others.
 

Additional organizations we work with include:

United Nations Association

Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility

Peace Action of Washington

Fellowship of Reconciliation

Peace Fellowship
 
Seattle Union Gospel Mission

MEXICO

Mexicans helping Mexicans: Through partner Juntos Trabajando por la Verdad, recruitment, training and housing of Mexicans who wish to serve as volunteers in providing vital support to the indigenous communities of Chiapas.

Mayan midwives deliver babies under challenging conditions. In a program that is culturally appropriate and organized by Mayans, midwives receive courses in nutrition, pre and post natal care and birth complications. The training combines traditional knowledge of plants and herbs as well as western medicines.

Many other programs include water systems for those that currently walk miles to find clean water in Chiapas, potable water delivery in the Peten region, materials for community projects of the Thirteen Holy Mountains area, establishing micro-enterprises in Chipapas.
