If you are lucky, you celebrate Earth Day every day, but several events will allow you to celebrate the Earth with others while you engage in both meaningful reflections and personal and collective action.
Wisdom keeper offers glimpse of possibilities after the pandemic
The Pachamama Alliance community will come together for a 60-minute virtual gathering, Prayer for the Earth: A Message from the Rainforest, at noon on Monday, April 19, with Manari Ushigua. Manari is a healer, wisdom keeper, and leader of the Sápara people of the Amazon rainforest. He travels internationally speaking out for the preservation of the Amazon and the people who call it home.
Take a moment to be with Manari, who will share about the relationship humans have with Earth according to the Sápara tradition, offering us all an opportunity to re-examine our own relationships with the rhythms of nature as the world begins to see the possibility of life after a pandemic. This event will include live English translation of Manari’s teachings, followed by opportunities to connect in breakout groups to reflect on your own relationship with the extraordinary planet upon which we all live. RSVP now.
