For over a decade, Maketai, Inc. has worked alongside the Achuar people of Ecuador’s Amazon rainforest in support of ecological protection, cultural preservation, and social justice initiatives.

Founded in 2010 by Sister Judy “Jaguar” Bisignano and Sandra Morse, Maketai builds partnerships — not charity — rooted in listening, respect, and reciprocity.

In this online gathering, Sandra Morse will share stories and firsthand experiences from more than 20 eco-retreat journeys into the Amazon, where visitors are invited to learn directly from Achuar communities about living in relationship with the forest.

Rather than studying nature from the outside, the Achuar perspective invites us to rediscover communication with the living world — plants, animals, rivers, and dreams — as part of a reciprocal ecosystem of awareness.

This evening focuses on:

• How indigenous wisdom approaches ecology differently from modern sustainability models
• What “listening to the forest” actually means in daily life
• How a cross-cultural partnership works without exploitation
• What the Achuar are protecting — and why it matters globally

Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage directly with Sandra during the final portion of the event.
