The I.AM.LIFE Organization

I.AM.LIFE, a project started by Tony Moss, is a non-profit that produces interactive, celebratory, community-building, and ceremonial events to open hearts and connect themselves with the world and each other.

I.AM.LIFE, a project started by Tony Moss, is a non-profit that produces interactive, celebratory, community-building, and ceremonial events to open hearts and connect themselves with the world and each other. As they see it, most, if not all, of the world's current challenges stem, fundamentally, from a lack of connection – to the world and each other. Their events combine aspects of traditional indigenous ceremony and wisdom with modern technology, creating contemporary ceremonial experiences that re-establish a sense of connection.

I.AM.LIFE is hosting a community fundraiser for the Amazon on October 18th, 2019. In their newsletter, they also included a link to “10 ways to save the Amazon” created by Mark Heley, and we’d like to share it to.

Paul Stamets, speaker, author, mycologist, medical researcher and entrepreneur, is considered an intellectual and industry leader in fungi: habitat, medicinal use, and production. His central premise is that habitats have immune systems, just like people, and mushrooms are cellular bridges between the two. Our close evolutionary relationship to fungi can be the basis for novel pairings in the microbiome that lead to greater sustainability and immune enhancement.
