Cynthia Robinson
Since childhood I have always had a deep love for nature and natural healing and always knew I would devote my life in service to the healing of people and the planet.
I got my BA at the University of Michigan School of Art and Design with a focus in Design, Communication and Creative Problem Solving. After graduation, I pursued my passion to bring deeper values for nature and humanity into the world working as a brand strategist, designer and creative director supporting both Fortune 500 as well as smaller companies to implement Permaculture thinking into their infrastructure, product designs and marketing.
Working in the corporate world of New York City led me to discover a more profound passion to support myself and others in establishing deeper connection to nature, ancestral values and unlocking our highest potential as human beings. I traded in the corporate boardrooms for 100 acres in the middle of the Amazon Rainforest where I cofounded the Paititi Institute for the Preservation of Ecology and Indigenous Culture.
At Paititi, I works alongside my partners to create a platform that practically applies ancient wisdom to our modern world, building intercultural bridges for healing on physical, emotional and spiritual levels for all people from all cultures and all spiritual traditions. I currently work to develop and facilitate holistic experiential education models, weaving together our inner and outer landscapes through nature awareness, traditional Permaculture education, health education and indigenous Amazonian teachings and practices integrated with ancestral wisdom from around the planet.
