The 6-minute short film was released on September 12, 2018 to correspond with the opening of California Governor Jerry Brown’s Global Climate Action Summit. Leaders from around the world gathered in San Francisco for the Summit.
Stusser’s and Ableman’s partnership and film were also designed to support the Green Spa Network’s Tree Planting Initiative, a campaign to inspire action and awareness in the spa and wellness industry about reforestation.
“We chose to partner with Aaron because he understands that we need to use music, humor, and art to mainstream this movement. For the last 12 years, he has been working to create motivating music, books, and videos for school-age children about the healing power of nature and how to reconnect by simple actions like planting trees. His talent, passion, and energy are irresistible,” said Stusser.
The musical comedy short film brings forward GSN’s invitation to the spa community and beyond to heal the broken connection between human beings and the earth. The story tells the tale of a stressed-out CEO who is urged to visit a healing spa where he is transformed in a cedar enzyme bath “treetment” featuring renowned Native-American activist Lyla June. This awakening to personal healing for environmental action mirrors what GSN’s Tree Planting Initiative hopes to inspire in thousands of others. Can we reverse climate change by engaging in a global effort to restore our verdant planet?

Green Spa Network’s Tree Planting Initiative is based on the critical and urgent need to regenerate the earth using trees’ natural abilities to reverse climate change.
