“Cura Da Terra” (the Cure of the Earth)
The Cure of the Earth
"Love
of life is the guide and motivator of ecological healing on Earth. Next
comes learning how to put that love into action. How do we do that for
that most alive of all places, the Amazon?"

Charles also recorded a conversation with the man who invited me to write it,
Alnoor Ladha, and made it into a podcast. Here is the description:
This
rich dialog treats the evolution of activism beyond us-versus-them
thinking, with special reference to current events around race, the
indigenous, and the Amazon rainforest.
Alnoor
Ladha’s work focuses on the intersection of political organizing,
systems thinking and narrative work. He was the co-founder and Executive
Director of The Rules (TR), a global network of activists, organizers,
designers, coders, researchers, writers and others focused on changing
the rules that create inequality, poverty and climate change.
Currently,
he is active with Cura Da Terra (#CuraDaTerra), a campaign of and for
the indigenous of the Amazon in their role as healers of the earth.
Alnoor comes from a Sufi lineage and explores/writes about the
intersection between politics and spirituality in times of crisis.
