Lauren Pacione, Ecotherapist, Founder Earth Church

It was the Spirit of the Jungle Teachers: the plants, the songs, the Shipibo, who opened my path of service, impact, and self restoration. For ten years I have been shaping containers of immersive connection and nature based vitality, always knowing that others would be called to join me in a pilgrimage of service and reciprocity to a place that not only offered me new life, but sustains the breath of our planet.
