Earth Listening Circle at A Sanctuary Center

EARTH LISTENING CIRCLE - In Person at A Sanctuary Center

Circle Overview For Participants

“Times are urgent, we must slow down.”  – BAYO AKOMOLAFE

Circle Purpose

• To create a space for participants to come together and deeply listen to the Earth for what transformation is being called for at this pivotal time in history in order that humans can remember their responsibility and sacred reciprocity with life; and 
• To create a space for participants to identify how the insights they receive might shift their current way of being, doing, and relating (as individuals and as a community); and 
• To harvest the patterns of collective wisdom that arise through the circles. 

Foundational Orientation

• Pachamama Alliance is working to accelerate an evolutionary leap that transforms our species’ dominant way of being from human supremacy to human responsibility and sacred reciprocity with Earth, one another, and all life.
• Awakening our capacity to listen and dream is a core teaching from the Indigenous partners of Pachamama Alliance that underlies this project.
• There is urgency - we are in a critical decade, fast approaching tipping points of collapse, that require bold transformation in our way of being on the planet.  “Times are urgent, we must slow down.” - Bayo Akomolafe
• We are engaging in this process to reconnect us to the practice of listening and sacred reciprocity. We create an open space in which we can discover what most needs to emerge or be remembered in service to the future of life on this planet. It is an emergent process where we cannot predict the outcomes.
• Circles of connection and listening support us to shift from individualistic thinking to feeling a part of Earth’s living body and to embrace our responsibility as ancestors to future generations.

“Safety is not the absence of threat, it is the presence of connection.”

- Dr. Gabor Mate
