An Arctic Overview

The Arctic as a Mirror

Without a doubt, this was the most significant and soul-stirring journey of the year. More than a destination, the Arctic became a mirror, vast, raw, and unflinchingly honest. This summer, we ventured into the high North with open hearts and willing spirits, surrounded by the quiet strength of glaciers and the shimmering stillness of polar waters. We weren’t just travelers, we were witnesses. Witnesses to beauty, to fragility, and to one another.

Together, with old friends and new companions, we shared moments that will echo for a lifetime. We laughed under the midnight sun. We cried in the presence of silence. We learned, not just facts, but feelings. Each day revealed layers: of the Earth, of ourselves, and of what it means to truly belong to something larger than us all. It was a lesson in empathy, not the kind written in textbooks, but the kind that anchors itself in the bones.

Music as Offering, Planet as Chorus

Eduardo carried something important into that frozen expanse, his music. Notes swelled into the chilled air, a human offering to an ancient seascape. From the deck of the ship, melodies met ice and sky, and in those moments, time folded. He played not for applause, but for understanding. For the glaciers. For the future. For the realization that this planet is not a backdrop, but a living chorus we’re part of, and responsible for.

This was more than a trip. It was a turning point. A collective shift toward care, connection, and accountability. The Arctic didn’t just show us beauty, it asked us to protect it and our beautiful and miraculous planet.
