Anank Nunink Nunkai desires a world of equality and without greed; where plants purify the air and crystalline springs satiate the thirst of the universe. Sharing the natural world in a place of unlimited happiness where dreams become reality. Flying above obstacles and discovering a limitless horizon. Here, in the four winds, you will hear the vibrant voice of the sacred plant Natem saying… PEACE, LOVE, UNDERSTANDING & RESPECT  - from Anank Nunink Nunkai’s website www.nunkui-shuar.org

Anank Nunink Nunkai was born in 1947 to the Shuar, the People of the Sacred Waterfalls who live deep in the Ecuadorian Amazon. He is an Uwishin (traditional healer) guided by Arutam and the wisdom of his ancestors. Anank’s mission in life is to help people, and help preserve the Shuar culture and the beautiful rainforest they call home.

Master Naba Lamoussa Morodenibig (1960 - 2008) (left) Master Naba was a Dogon Kemetic Priest from the Gourmantche region of Burkina Faso, West Africa (click here to see where this is). Trained in both the original traditional teaching and colonial educational systems, Master Naba was a direct descendant of the priests who had been given the task of preserving ancient knowledge against the attacks of those who would seek to usurp it. For 2500 years Dogon teachings had been preserved and hidden among the people of what the colonial world calls West Africa. Echoes of this teaching can be found in every culture of the Earth, from the traditions of African culture that we can see, to the Taoist and Shinto teachings of the East, to the Aztec, Hopi and Mayan teachings of the West to the traditions of the Pacific islanders. All of these traditions have been profoundly influenced by the teachings of the temples and nomes of the Nile and Niger river valley civilizations. - from article by Rezib Tutsanai'i Photograph © Marguerite Lorimerhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burkina_Faso

Introducing Alok Hsu Kwang-han, an internationally acclaimed and highly original Zen calligraphic artist from China. Alok’s paintings - a striking synthesis of the beauty of Chinese calligraphy, the spontaneity and simplicity of Zen, as well as the evolution of Western Psychotherapy - are like Zen gates; entering the paintings we "come home" to ourselves. Alok has also brought what he calls “the creativity of non-doing” into trainings for international organizations and for business leaders.

Alok is best known for his singular work of creating Zen Calligraphic Portraits combined with exploration sessions for individuals, couples, families, and organizations. He began in 1974 and has completed more than 1,000 commissioned works around the world.
