We are gloriously, inescapably earthbound and yet we disregard our home at our own peril.
Our world is calling out, louder than ever, to wake up, listen deeply, and come into the right relationship with our land to save what we have left and plant the seeds for a thriving future.
The truth is that climate action and sustainable stewardship of our natural resources are essential for our survival here on Earth.
We can no longer turn our heads and ignore what we don’t want to see. It’s time to change.
How will we honour and care for our Mother?
