growing a new world in agaya and ubuntu

People have always needed community, spirituality, and celebration. These needs increase as we respond to the vast challenges of environmental disruption and social injustice that threaten global and personal well-being.

In the Novasutras movement, we are creating a community to nurture and uplift each other during these challenging times. We are coming together to create a world that works for all people and all species of life on Earth. In this movement, spirituality and science are honored harmoniously to understand our existence, open our minds, expand our hearts, and guide us into action.

A Valentine to Earth's Three Green Hearts

Our beloved Earth has three green hearts — Amazonia, Congo and Sundaland — the worlds three major equatorial rainforest systems. These are places of unfathomable complexity and diversity, places of beauty and wonder. They are the living embodiment of agaya and ubuntu — joyous, raucous, mysterious, fierce and lovely.
