The Compassionate Earth Journey

Over seven days, we will deeply commune with the Earth—feeling her bones within us, grieving her pain, and attuning to her ancient rhythm. This is a calling for Earth lovers, Healers, and Facilitators to walk in reverence through these turbulent times.

We’ll follow wild animal trails, sleep under stars, gather in sacred circles by rivers, meet other beings, and engage in meaningful Earth rituals. In solitude and silence, we’ll enter deeper dialogue with the land.

By honoring the Earth’s sorrow, we touch our own—and through this shared grief, we open the path to healing. The Earth has held us for millennia. This journey is our way of listening, honoring, and giving back.
