Dear All

Forest Dance was a fantastic experiential evening of dancing, singing; performances from Chloe Goodchild and Nicholas Twilley and excerpts from the ‘Change the Dream’ symposium. With over 100 dancers we raised great vibes and over £1000 for Stroud Valleys Project, tree planting and the Pachamama Alliance for the Rainforest.

“How can you buy or sell the sky? The land?
The idea is strange to us.
If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them?
Every part of the earth is sacred to my people…
If we sell you our land, remember that the air is precious to us that the air shares its spirit
with all the life that it supports…
Teach your children what we have taught our
children--that the earth is our mother.
Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons
and daughters of the earth.
If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves.
This we know. The earth does not belong to us;
we belong to the earth.
This we know. All things are connected like the
blood which unites one family.
All things are connected.
Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons
and daughters of the earth.
We did not weave the web of life; we are merely a strand in it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves...”
Chief Seattle
