is what's needed so the way to  others is to heal ourselves so you're using the snakes as a tool rosie comes in and she does her magic tricks she's a magician all in her own so she draws in the people and the kids learn not to be afraid of them and the adults learn to come and see what what the snakes are all about and to feel her energy as well well that is such a beautiful goal and such a beautiful purpose and you so what else do you do with the snakes outside of that i am a leader for the middlesex county for each i run a small animal group and we specialize in herpetology so at home

thank you both so much for the work that you're doing that in general and here this weekend thank you that's n this blessing is for mama mother earth and all the beings that she supports and nurtures she is the abundance  peace peace peace now i'm here with miller who is the guy the organizer here at the touch mother earth festival dave you've done an amazing job i know a lot of work went into it so kudos for you for once again pulling off a really wonderful event so tell us about the event and the mission well the mission goes back to even when i was a kid i liked supporting music so that was one of the first aspects and then when i was in college before recycling was the law we would take our bottles and paper and bring them over to douglas campus wreckers and then when emails first came out my first my first e mail was recycler for dave so it's been something that's been inherent in me my parents instilled certain values when things started becoming the law and they started seemed people polluting the earth that was another care and then when it came to things like the farm practices with the hormones and antibiotics and all that instilled another part because i was a gardener since i was a child and wanting to provide solutions was really what it came about and in order to provide solutions i had couldn't do it all myself so i found the teachers i found people were knowledgeable yeah and i found them all found musicians that have a message a good positive message and but then putting it all together is not something in a five hour project so it started as a two day idea and then it turned into a full week and so and then even before we did this festival i was doing it my backyard until i got a little too big in the neighbors sort of said  these pockets of energy plus there's some outbuildings so if we need indoor space you know maybe somebody wants to use a projector with a power point something like that or they need a soft dance floor to be able to be barefoot that they can be barefoot out on the grass certainly had that yesterday with the belly dancers and the fire dancing and the other aspect is just providing a safe environment a growing learning center really been at the heart of it yes think you know yes it's very to like minded as well and we're sitting right here actually on tree stumps which were part of our fire circle which is where we bring community all together at night after a good number of work and going to the vendors and hearing out the music we all come together as one group so how can people get involved even more well i do have an e mail that would be touch mother earth events  dot com and that's good for all year round they can also look at the website which is w w w touch mother earth dot com and there are links there fact all the information from this year's website plus all the first thing is be conscious about recycling if it's something that is plastic don't throw it in the trash and many end up in the ocean if it's a food put in your garden if you don't have a garden you can put it in a blender and some water importer on the tree simple as that those are those are excellent ways and simple and everyone can do it everyone can have apartment they can and do comply with the laws whether it be you know compost i mean tying up in newspapers or you know most communities now don't have to separate the glass and everything they've got machines will do that for you the main thing is also consider do you need it when you go to buy if it's a one time use what's the packaging  you know the vendors that we had here today a lot of stuff is handmade minimal packaging environmentally friendly components not shipped from overseas using you know oil tanker to get it touched a lot of hearts i've gotten so many compliments of the diversity that we have and how we included all kids family in our workshops as well because there are the next generation and if they are building working something with the garden i know when i was a kid became a lifelong i slung something that i can carry now so nurture that in the kids if they show interest thank you thank you  thank you to everybody for helping to participate and touch mother earth and your heart is where it's at the simple things that you can do and everyday living help support a cleaner earth and i thank you again now my thank you
