Gratitude

Orca Dreams is a dream come true.. It takes a village, a collective for dreams to materialize and continue their presence. Here are all the earthly angels that supported its birthing and continue to give their generous heartful support. I list them here so that you can also know them and support their work.

Befitting the relationship between Orcas, Dreamtime and Ancestors, I chose for this page the wonderful artwork of Gary Purchase called “Ancient Affinity.” I thank my ancestors, beginning with my dad who instilled in me the love of the sea and all its creatures and my mom who gifted me her sense of aesthetics and elegance. I thank my whale friends and the Aboriginal friends as well for their wisdom, full of pure love. I thank all my teachers and my companeros and companeras who shared their scientific and spiritual wisdom with me.

Thank you,
