“Arawaka's main goal is to promote a better relationship between human beings and our mother earth. Our prayer is for the following generations: that they may inherit the earth in better condition than we have it now. The only real problem with the ecology of the planet resides in the human beings; therefore our efforts are directed towards developing ways of spiritual education. We intend to increase our awareness and to awaken our hearts to the level at which we become capable of recognizing the earth as our mother and all that live on the earth as our relatives and our partners in life. Our work faces four directions; indigenous traditions; individual healing; children's education; and community life.”

“Groups dedicated to creating a deeper relationship with the earth and all life. One group is a corporate group that has a desire for their work to not only create profit, but also creates a reciprocal relationship with life. They stayed for four days and plan to return next year. The second group was a collaborative project with another non-profit and was ten days long. This was a diverse group hailing from different backgrounds but all wanting to work for the benefit of the earth and have a good relationship with all life. Estimated participants: 46”

“Children's program: our children's program is ongoing through our efforts during community workdays and different ceremonies, especially during the summer time, when many children are staying at arawaka with their families. This year we concentrated our efforts in including older children in the daily community life and creating play experiences and spaces that supported toddlers. Estimated participants: 22 farm program: the farm program has been growing over the last two years. Each year, a small amount of our own vegetables are grown to add to our program meals. The community works together each year to bless the seeds, plant, amend the soil, mulch, weed, and harvest. It has been a powerful experience to have the farm as part of arawaka and has enhanced the experience of sacred nourishment. Estimated participants 50.”
