Have you always wanted to work with indigenous children on art projects? Have you a desire to learn about natural dyes and fibers from the jungle? Want to work alongside indigenous women to learn their ancient arts and crafts techniques? Looking for a service-learning opportunity?

Inspired by the spirit of the jungle, in this Amazon Eco-Art School situated in the pristine jungles of Peru, you will:

1. learn ancient indigenous arts and crafts techniques from indigenous Amazon women.
2. learn the plant sources of natural dyes and fibers (some of which are medicinal plants and/or food sources).
3. make creative book art and other art forms using natural plant dyes and fibers…printmaking, dying, weaving.
4. learn to attune to the energies of the plants as medicines and art materials.
5. allow the spirit of the jungle to flow through and inform the creative art process.
6. experience the rich biome of flora and fauna in this eco-immersion expedition into the Amazon.
