Taking care of the earth is the most fundamental form of self-care. Without our home, there is nothing, there is no 'us'. Earth care is self-care™.

​

We take care of the people, places and things that we have a connection with. Cherishing the earth starts by rekindling our relationship with nature.​

Try an earth care ritual with us: 

• Go outdoors, (your yard, local park, beach or wild area) and find a  place to sit.

• Engage your senses: breathe in the nature smells, observe the landscape, listen to the melody of nature, feel the ground beneath your bare feet or hands, taste the elements by taking deep steadying breaths. Focus your awareness on each sense and repeat this process a few times until you start to feel relaxed, and connected to the earth.

• Commit to taking one or as many acts as you can to reduce or offset your environmental footprint for the month of April and beyond.

• Take action: set reminders on your calendar, or post your commitment somewhere visible to ensure follow-through

There are many ways to make an impact in our homes, workplaces and lifestyles, such as reducing plastic waste, avoiding single use items, reducing energy consumption, and driving less. Here is a link for additional  'Actions for a Healthy Planet'. https://www.un.org/en/actnow/ten-actions
