Pachamama Alliance

10/14/2026

A day filled with connection, reflection, and a shared vision for the future. 💚

On September 12, more than 1,000 members of the Pachamama Alliance community gathered at Fort Mason in San Francisco to celebrate 30 years of partnership with Indigenous peoples of the Amazon and imagine what’s possible for the next 30.

From powerful words shared by Indigenous leaders to a moving reminder from nine-year-old Tsumaru, we were reminded that building a thriving future takes all of us—and that the next generation is already imagining what it can look like.

We also shared a glimpse of what’s ahead for Pachamama Alliance as we enter a new chapter in 2027.

To everyone who joined us, shared their stories, and continues to be part of this community: thank you. Here’s to all we’ve created together, and all that’s still possible. 🌿

For 30 years, Pachamama Alliance has been rooted in partnership with Indigenous leaders and communities in the Amazon. These relationships have shaped not only the work we do, but how we understand what it means to protect the living world.

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the leaders and communities who continue to protect their territories, carry their cultures forward, and shape the future of this work—grounded in relationship, responsibility, and care for the living Earth.

Their words remind us that protecting the rainforest is inseparable from protecting culture, community, and the ability to imagine a future on Indigenous terms.

None of us can do this alone. 🐢🐢🐢

We’re excited to introduce Kinship Circles—a new offering rooted in a simple idea: we belong to one another, and to the living world around us.

🕸️ Kinship is the practice of remembering that we’re part of a larger web of life. It’s about cultivating relationships rooted in care, reciprocity, and responsibility.

Each Kinship Circle will be shaped by the people who gather, the place they call home, their culture, and what matters most to them.

There’s no one-size-fits-all model. A Circle might grow from a Pachamama Alliance experience, or begin with a few neighbors, friends, or colleagues who feel called to gather and create something together.

Who are your people? What might become possible if you gathered?

We invite you to join us for a new, transformational experience: a space to make sense of this moment, reconnect with what matters most, and explore how to meet it together. 🦜🧡

Coming Home: We're in this Together is a new one-day, in-person experience — not a lecture or a webinar, but a guided day of reflection, conversation, and connection with others who are asking the same questions.

Prior to the in-person experience, join us for a special online introduction — a first look at the ideas, reflections, and conversations at the heart of this offering — on Thursday, October 29, 12:00–1:30 PM PT.

In August, Fundación Pachamama celebrated 19 graduation events across 30 communities, marking the completion of the 2025–2026 Farmer Field School cycle for 883 chakramamas and chakrayayas, women and male farmers.

From participatory research in 200 chakras to producing bio-inputs with locally available materials, farmers are putting knowledge into practice while bringing ancestral wisdom and new learning together. And the learning doesn’t stop at graduation.

Read our latest blog to learn what’s taking root through the Farmer Field Schools.

What could become possible if young people had more meaningful opportunities to connect, lead, create, and help shape the future? ✨🧑‍🤝‍🧑🌎

As Pachamama Alliance looks toward the next 30 years, we believe young people must be part of shaping what's coming next. That's why we're excited to announce the launch of our —an opportunity to explore how we can more deeply engage, learn from, and create alongside younger generations.

At the heart of this work is the voice and perspective of young people. Tell us what matters to you, what you are looking for, and what kinds of experiences, relationships, and opportunities would feel meaningful.

We also want to hear from those who are ready to help create the conditions for youth leadership to flourish—with your time, experience, resources, ideas, or other forms of support.

Amid the energy and momentum of NY Climate Week, we’re co-creating space with to pause, ground, and reconnect with possibility.

Join us for Fall in Love with the Future, a participatory visioning experience inspired by the work of deep ecologist Joanna Macy and Transition Towns co-founder Rob Hopkins.

Together, we’ll honor the grief and love we carry for our world before journeying into a regenerative future where humanity has transformed its relationships with one another and with the Earth. Then, we’ll look back from that future as if it were lived memory and ask: What did it take to get here?

What values, practices, relationships, ways of organizing, and commitments helped bring this future into being and what can we begin cultivating today?

If you’re looking for a moment to slow down, reconnect, and ground yourself amid the pace of NY Climate Week, we’d love to share this space with you.

Hope to see you there!

Friends of the Earth U.S. is the United States branch of Friends of the Earth International, the world’s largest grassroots environmental network, which fights for a healthier and more just world.
