Professional Consultation for "Dreaming New Mexico" towards a food
& energy self-sustainable State by the year 2020; an ambitious and
well supported project, initiative of Bioneers with the participation

Some of his previous work include research work with Sonic Bloom
sound frequencies and music and pyramid enhancement for seeds and
plants with documented success written in very popular books:
"Secrets of the soil" and "The secret life of Plants" by two
famous authors/researchers Peter Tompkins and Christopher Byrd. The
results of this research show how certain frequencies and music really
works to greatly enhance plant grow production, yield, nutrition,
flavor, quality and germination power of seeds especially enhanced by
the combination of the use of Mayan pyramid seed enhancers.
He has traveled around the
world and worked with many indigenous people to develop and increase
diversity in organic farming and gardening. He has 30 years experience
teaching and practicing permaculture, seed saving, biodynamic and
organic agriculture.
