In Novasutras, ecospirituality supports ecoactivism. We share ideas on how to engage in sacred activism. Whether it’s having a climate conversation with a neighbor, or risking arrest in civil disobedience, there are many paths of sacred activism. Which paths are you ready to explore?
How is the invasion of Ukraine connected to fossil fuel funding and the ongoing climate crisis? How can activists respond? We can break our global fossil fuel addiction, reducing the incentives and capacities of warmongers, and reducing our risks during the climate emergency.
Climate Caroling is a festive form of activism. Singing alternate lyrics and other actions can add meaning and message to holiday celebrations. Novasutras Solstice events and other holiday practices show our reverence for life on Earth, and our interdependence with all beings.
Environmental science fiction storytelling can shape our thinking and subsequent technological and social innovations. Solarpunk and other imagined futures can inspire us. Many include messages about the need for an ecospiritual movement to deal with climate and other environmental crises.

We stand in solidarity with indigenous water protectors, calling to #StopLine3. The proposed tar sands oil pipeline expansion would despoil the sacred land and water of Minnesota.

We stood in solidarity with indigenous water protectors, affirming treaty rights & blocking construction of Line 3.
