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.

Acknowledging Land and Indigenous Peoples

It can be instructive and healing to include some acknowledgement of the land and the people who lived there as part of our gatherings. We can learn important things about appropriate ways to act with integrity in our local ecosystems from the indigenous peoples of the land. Who are the indigenous people where you live? What do you know about their history, and how they may be engaged in protecting their land and culture now?

What are agaya and ubuntu?

Agaya is a new term, intended as an expression of the deep, sacred beauty of the universe.
Ubuntu is a term that represents the connections between all things. Agaya and ubuntu bind us all together in the more-than-human world with reverence, joy, generosity, gratitude, and loving-kindness.
