Collective Wave is an Audiopharmacy project. Its mission is to radically built and establish a self-reliant & sustainable family/community in order to create an alternative way of life, a new model for society. This action helps heal the planet from today's ecological crisis as well as establishing a healthy environment and a just society for future generations to come.
Audiopharmacy Prescriptions is a San Francisco-based international art collective featuring a plethora of talented musicians, dancers, DJs, photographers, writers, community activists, event organizers and healers. With collective members residing in the US, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, Austria, Japan, Singapore, and the Philippines, each artist brings a unique view of consciousness, empowerment, & respect for life in every creative endeavor shared with the world. The collective is dedicated to support a movement that catalyzes collaborative work among the members of the AP collective, as well as other artists, who are interested in building community through the arts. We envision our collective to be a bridge that nurtures cross-cultural projects & friendships that promotes collaborative artistic endeavors as vessels for the flourishing of a sustainability consciousness of our planet. APP projects include SNAG (Seventh Native American Generation) - a youth media program, The NEST (Native Education and Sustainability Training), the World Bridge Project and Collective Wave.
The girl who silenced the world...
There is a lot of information about the ecological, economical, and social crises on the planet. In other words, it is proven that all systems are broken. Therefore, information studied in school, internet, books, and life experiences has been an inspiration for the birth and growth of the Collective Wave project. Below are selected resources of information for a complete understanding regarding global issues and immediate solutions to regenerate the planet and establish a healthy future for next generations.EDUCATION

Urban Permaculture Institute of San Francisco
Permaculture is often called 'the cultivated ecology' because of its goal to integrate and transform human societies so they live in sustainably designed and highly productive ecosystems where self interest is aligned with the common good
.- Earth user's guide to Permaculture, Rosmary Morrow
- Earthcare – recognising that the Earth is the source of all life (and is possibly itself a living entity- see Gaia theory) and respecting her accordingly.
- Peoplecare – supporting and helping each other to change to ways of living that are not harming ourselves or the planet, and realizing that we are a part of the Earth, not apart from it.
- Fairshares (or placing limits to consumption) - ensuring that the Earth's limited resources are utilized in ways that are equitable and wise.

Charles Eisenstein
Author of Sacred Economics. This book is about how the money system will have to change—and is already changing—to embody this transition. A broadly integrated synthesis of theory, policy, and practice, Sacred Economics explores avant-garde concepts of the New Economics, including negative-interest currencies, local currencies, resource-based economics, gift economies, and the restoration of the commons. Author Charles Eisenstein also considers the personal dimensions of this transition, speaking to those concerned with “right livelihood” and how to live according to their ideals in a world seemingly ruled by money. - See more at: http://sacred-economics.com/
