We are the salt of the PLANET Earth

Among the indigenous peoples and local communities, salt has a deep socio-cultural, ecological and spiritual meaning. Salt plays a great role in ritual purity through cleansing and restoring harmonious relationship between people and Planet Earth. The world today needs the same salt to bring meaning to life and to re-connect the humans with true sense of who they are. We are the salt; the Society for Alternative Learning & Transformation (SALT) - Simon Mitambo, CEO, SALT.

"...natural phenomenon have slowly lost their symbolic implications. Thunder is no longer the voice of an angry god, nor is lightening his avenging missile. No river contains a spirit, no trees contain the life principle, no snake contains the embodiment of wisdom, no mountain cave is the home of the great demon. No voices now speak to man from stones, plants and animals, nor does the man speak to them believing they can hear. Man's contact with nature has gone, and with it has gone the profound emotional energy that this symbolic connection supplied.”
