April’s theme: Transformation
Speaker: Melina Bondy
Message: Touching the Earth – Bowing down and touching the earth – in reverence, humility and community – is an important part of most sacred traditions, though often forgotten or dismissed by modern cultures. Yet as climate chaos deepens and the violence of colonial-capitalist systems becomes more and more blatant, the importance of earth-touching practices that connect us to the living presence of the planet and an inner sense of wholeness has never been greater. Join us to explore a Buddhist form of bowing, Touching the Earth, that serves both as contemplation on interdependence, earth-honouring and moving meditation.
