Earth Day Community Practice + Ritual: April 22, 6:30-9 pm
We are part of a beautiful, complex, sacred and deeply interconnected living world. The incredible intelligence of nature (dharma) continually weaves together this web of life. It is the origin, essence and destiny of our physical bodies, and provides us with prana, air, food, water, warmth, shelter and the material resources we need. Our place in this web is planet Earth. It is our larger living body which supports, sustains and shelters us – which is why it’s known as mother Earth. Across time and cultures, humanity has honored our place in the web of life and its cycles of transformation through ritual. Much of that living wisdom and connection has been lost in modern life, to the detriment of great nature and human culture. Our love for Mother Earth is present in both gratitude for her abundant gifts and “earth grief” for the going desecration of her (our) living body. The expression of love through ritual is a profound means for collective healing.
April 22, 2026 marks the 56th celebration of Earth Day. We invite you to join us for a special Earth Day community Practice and Ritual for Honoring + healing guided by Ben.
Our evening together will integrate:
- A Short dharma talk on the sacredness of nature, planet Earth and our place in the web of life
- Earth centered yoga practice
- Personal reflection
- Community Ritual and Song for honoring and healing the Earth
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Friends of The Boundary Waters
