At Novasutras, we offer a variety of ecospiritual and ecoactivist events, guided meditation sessions, learning workshops, engaged conversations, and local actions. Our gatherings help us to uplift one another and support our development as agents for positive change in the world.

Novasutras events emphasize the scientific truths that unite us as Earthlings. They are open to people of all faith practices or belief systems who share some devotion to Earth care and community. Many are timed around astronomical events, as a way to mark the shared journey of our planet and all its inhabitants.

    Santa Cruz Area Events
    Illustration of the Earth's orbit, indicating the Equinoxes and Solstices. We schedule ecospiritual events for the Equinoxes, Solstices and Cross-Quarters, in addition to other astronomical phenomena like moon phases, because they are a powerful reminder of our shared experiences and connections as Earthlings.

    Celestial events are an excellent opportunity for synchronous global meditations, and other celebrations. We particularly encourage participation in our Octal Celebrations. Our online Octal Celebrations are usually scheduled to coincide with the timing of the celestial event (starting at least 15 minutes before it and ending after it). Learn more…
