The Heart of the Healer Foundation is a 501 c 3 non-profit organization whose mission is to preserve indigenous cultures and restore our earth. Toward that end, T.H.O.T.H. Foundation has the following goals: To protect ancestral sacred sites, pilgrimage destinations, natural landscape shrines and tribal lands in the Peruvian rainforest; to preserve and revitalize indigenous earth-honoring wisdom and ceremonial healing practices; and to impart the prophetic vision and mythic reality of native peoples as expressed through their creation stories, tribal legends, ceremonial rites-of-passage, art, music, dance, song and other traditional forms of cultural identity. Accomplishments of the foundation include: Shipibo Community Outreach Program. Over 55,200 meals and school supplies were provided to the Shipibo children relocated from the Peruvian Amazon to the Lima fairgrounds. Their class curriculum, including the study of the Shipibo language and stories of origin and proliferation of their mythic art, is an outstanding example of preserving indigenous cultures for future generations. Rainforest Protection: Leased and purchased 15,300 acres of rainforest at Rio Las Piedras, Peru for preservation and research in biodiversity. On these lands are 1200 species of butterflies, 600 species of birds, 120 species of reptiles and 90 species of mammals. Preservation of areas such as this is critical, as 1.5 acres of rainforest land are lost every second, and global oxygen supplies depend largely upon the rainforest for oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange (the Amazon rainforest generates over 20% of the world's oxygen).
