We celebrate the legacy of the inspirational Desmond Tutu, one of the world’s foremost spokespersons for ubuntu. In Novasutras we expand on the deep truths of ubuntu for the liberation of all beings and the healing of Earth.
We can decolonize Thanksgiving and Black Friday to celebrate gratitude in agaya and ubuntu, and stand in solidarity with indigenous peoples. What are you grateful for? How can you decolonize your celebration?
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.
Explore the science as we delve into this ecospiritual prayer for the sacred infra-natural. Find deep centeredness and vast expansion of our conscious connection to everything: structures within us, ancestors and all our relations throughout the biosphere, and the wider cosmos.

…Huge fruits fall, bounce, roll, break and squish flinging pungent seeds.
Lured by the scent, desert beasts appear lumbering out of mirage in wary zig zags.
They stare at the jungle beasts as they feed.
Soon the mating begins…

The climate crisis and global biodiversity loss require us to reconnect with the sacred, living Earth and with one another in more powerful ways. We may grow to understand the ways that life on Earth seeks to become allied with us, and find ways to act in better partnership. We can unite with that awesome power that gives us life to protect and restore its vitality in joyful co-creation.
Paul Downton created this beautifully illustrated guide to thinking about cities and the ideas of urban nature. It shares a perspective that honors what we in Novasutras call agaya and ubuntu.
