Our work, rather, is to help reawaken the sense of the sacred that is already deep in the human soul, our primordial relationship with nature, our ancient mother love of the earth. We can be part of its rising again. 🙌🌅
- John Philip Newell, Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul: Celtic Wisdom for Reawakening to What Our Souls Know and Healing the World 🌍✨️
Some ideas to reawaken the sense of the sacred:
1. Gardening & Regenerative Practices: Tending the soil is a spiritual act. Growing herbs, food, or native plants reconnects us to the rhythms of the Earth. Try composting and practicing permaculture!
2. Spending Time in Nature with Reverence: Not just hiking or being outside, but being with nature—listening to trees, honoring rivers, greeting the sunrise. These simple acts remind us that the Earth is alive and responsive.
3. Listening to Indigenous & Ancestral Wisdom: Learn from those who have kept the Earth-honoring traditions alive. Whether through Celtic stories, Native American teachings, or your own ancestral lineage, honoring the wisdom of the land helps us live more in tune with it.
4. Practicing Eco-Spirituality: Infuse your yoga, meditation, or prayer with gratitude for the Earth. Breathe with the wind, root through your feet, and honor the elements as teachers.
5. Supporting Ethical and Regenerative Businesses: Choose local, organic, and sustainable whenever possible. Where and how we spend our money is a sacred vote for the kind of world we want to co-create.
6. Teaching the Next Generation: Share the wonder of the Earth with children. Let them play in mud, plant seeds, and dance under the full moon. This nurtures sacred connection for generations to come.
7. Community Ritual and Celebration: Gather with others to mark the solstices, equinoxes, or full moons. Dance, drum, pray, sing—bring the sacred back into community and calendar!
What's your favorite practice that reminds you of what your soul knows? 🌿
