SAMPLE LETTER 1

The following is a general sample letter which you can use to share with your extended community. Of course feel free to edit this and make it your own.

Dear ____,

____Feel free to add a personal intro paragraph here which will connect to your community.____

As this year is coming to a close I am inspired to share a project that is very dear to my heart, the work of the Paititi Institute for the Preservation of the Amazon Rainforest and Indigenous Culture. This organization is committed to embodying a paradigm shift and demonstrating what is possible through ordinary human efforts, in service to Mother Nature and the infinite human potential.

In these hard times of chaos in the world this organization stands out as a real beacon of light for me and is devoted to real solutions for humanity which I have personally experienced. They are in a very crucial moment of growth at this time and I am inspired to support this growth so they can continue to bring benefit to so many more people and to the environment – both through the direct impact their work as well as the web of individuals who have been empowered through their work. I am asking if you would consider giving a gift to humanity this holiday by contributing a small (or large) tax-deductible donation at the following link: https://paititi-institute.org/donate/

I first connected with the work from this organization _______insert when you first connected with us______ and since that time I have personally experienced profound transformation in my life and have witnessed many others benefit as well.

I worked with Paititi __insert what you have participated in___ and through that process I ___add a little of your personal growth and positive changes you have experienced in your life.

A Little More Background:
The Paititi Institute for the Preservation of the Amazon Rainforest and Indigenous Culture is a nonprofit organization devoted to the integration of ancestral wisdom into everyday life. They serve as an intercultural bridge supporting individuals and communities to live as activated, responsible and joyful human beings in harmony with both inner and outer landscapes.

Drawing on over a decade of experience working deeply with indigenous cultures of the Andean mountains and Amazonian rainforest, Paititi has channeled their efforts over the past four years into the cultivation of their educational institute, natural healing center, land-based community and grassroots projects, as a true sanctuary and model for the change we wish to see in the world. This center, in the Loredo region of Peru, has served as an invaluable training ground from which the Institute has experienced enormous evolution and growth. The purpose and mission of the institute, however, extends well beyond the current parcel of land and the complete expression of the next phase of growth is calling for a relocation that can allow for the full manifestation of projects dedicated to the essential aspects of the organisation.

In this moment, they are in the process of acquiring new land in the Machu Picchu region of Peru, where the rainforest meets the mountains. This property will serve as the new base for the Institute, house their community and natural healing center, and serve as a headquarters for the wider work in the region and the implementation of their long-term strategic plan. This plan includes the growth of the Institute, the establishment of a vibrant Ecovillage and regenerative enterprises, integrative scientific research, support for the indigenous cultures of the Amazon to preserve their wisdom, culture, and way of life, and the support of neighboring indigenous tribes in the protection of virgin rainforest for the benefit of future generations.

At this crucial juncture in humanity’s history and Mother Nature’s planetary evolution, the Paititi Institute is taking the lead in addressing humanity’s challenges at the fundamental level, unifying inner and outer landscapes, and serving as an integrative and deeply embodied intercultural bridge. This is made possible only through the support of the awakened aspect of consciousness that resides in the heart of us all.

At this time the Paititi Institute has a goal of raising $500,000 by March in order to fully embody their heroic initiatives for 2014. I am asking at this time for everyone who is inspired by this undertaking for their support of this work in whatever way possible. Through all of our endeavors we create a ripple effect, demonstrating what is possible for humanity, and securing the well-being of the planet for future generations. With a relatively small amount of resources we can transform the lives of many.

Thank you for taking the time to listen and for your support.
