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.
Global / Online Ecospiritual Event Details ~ Santa Cruz, CA Event Details ~ Recent Events ~ Planning your own Novasutras celebrations
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.
