Last weekend, Amy went down to Baja, Mexico to play a benefit concert for Zonas Verdes de Punta Banda on Mother’s Day (in Mexico, Mother’s Day is celebrated on May 10th) to raise the level of awareness about protecting the environment and to help bring together community. With Jesus - the other local musician scheduled to play - getting caught on the other side of town, Amy ended up playing a longer set on the grand piano, and music could be heard spreading out into Cantu as the sun went down. Many thanks to Karina Alvarado for speaking about the civil association, explaining the project of working with the local schoolchildren to help clean up the environmental zone, and for all of the patrons at Sharky’s who contributed to the cause! Zonas Verdes de Punta Banda A.C. should now have enough funds to print the children’s photos of the area and display them in the town for the rest of the community to learn more about the project.
To learn any more about the organization, please contact: zverdes.pb@gmail.com

Inspired by my friend Nancy Karp, I wanted to post these links to Oh Shinnah and the Wisdom Keepers of the World…please enjoy as much as I have…
All is Made Beautiful - 11 Native American Traditions
Have you ever wondered why so many of us are drawn towards Native American traditions even though we grew up in other cultures, and sometimes even on different continents?
Maybe it’s because we recognize that the special relationship the people native to North America had and mostly still have with one another, their ancestors, the earth and nature, as well as the animal kingdom and spirit world, is as unique as it is strong.
The wisdom the Elders from Native American traditions carry is invaluable to people from all walks of life because their knowledge brings balance to our hectic mind-set that is often geared towards taking instead of sharing. One such Wisdom Elder whom thousands from around the world have already come to learn from over the past four decades is Oh Shinnah Fast Wolf, an Apache and Mohawk Warrior Woman.
Despite the romantic view many have of the “simple” life of Native Americans, their connection to the earth and cycles of nature is very complex and rich in traditions and daily practices. Some of the ceremonies they practice require an apprenticeship of many years of study with ceremonialists, but many of the Native American traditions are immensely helpful and suitable to all of us striving for more balance and harmony in our lives.

On April 1, the Bush/Cheney Administration announced that it will waive environmental and land management laws along 470 miles of the U.S./Mexico border.
Laws ensuring clean water for us and our children? Dismissed. Laws protecting wildlife, land, rivers, streams and places of cultural significance? Disregarded. And laws giving American citizens a voice in the process? Gone.
Clearly, this is out of control. For more info and to take action:

WOW! What a great evening last night in the West Village. Mary Edwards performed an inspiring, love-filled set to open the evening and I was so happy to see so many folks turn out for the concert. THANK YOU SO MUCH NYC for such a great turnout! It was a Gaia Grove event with a portion of every admission going to Conservation International, and we raised a nice donation for their work with preserving forests. They are about to come out with a new climate change report - will keep you updated… Also check out the Million Trees Project in NYC ! Here are a few shots from Rock Star Diary & Julie A Staub Photography…
