We are faced with one of the greatest tasks of our time: to make the societal transition to a life sustaining way of being that honors land, water, and all beings. By reconnecting to ourselves and to our sense of place, we restore our relationship with each other and with the Earth.
Self-Reflection & Conversation
What place in nature — a body of water, a forest, a mountain, a desert, etc. – do feel most connected to, and why? Where do you feel whole? Tell the story of this place, or places.
Community Practices
Take time to venture into a space of nature, whether a mountain overlook, the banks of a stream, a city park, or a row of trees outside your window
- Begin by centering your awareness in the present moment, taking in your surroundings with all your senses. Let thoughts pass and come back to your experience in the here and now. Notice moments of feeling alive, love, and connected.
- Take 10 minutes to connect with these sacred parts of nature by writing a poem, drawing in your journal, or simply observing in silence.
- Share your reflections on this experience with someone.
- Adopt practices to respect water, land and food. Even in places where water is abundant, think about ways you can conserve water.
“We believe in our deep connections to air, water, fire, and earth that sustain us.”
