"SEED is forward motion, a direction for learning, regeneration and evolution. A way to reach continuously towards a better self. I believe that, artists, professionals and innovators also need progressive insight and knowledge."
“Nature has always been my source of inspiration. Hence, I love that SEED connects one of the most influential human creations - Music, to nature (Ecology). In our tribe, warriors4elements we orchestrate natural laws in business and lifestyle, leading to a path of transformation."
I think SEED is an amazing initiative to empower artists and allow them to connect with nature and ecosystems. Nature is a source of inspiration and healing. Something all artists need in the world today. I’m looking forward to seeing this program grow!”
"Seed is doing vital work, precisely the sort of work we all need to do if we are to survive. My best wishes to this new effort."
"Imperative for us as a species, to individually and collectively divest from certain existing paths and economic structures. Deliberately abandon customary maxims - the dogma of more and more, further and faster... That wealth and the constant growth of capital cannot deliver the promise of happiness and a stable future"
