Michelle will be offering guided global synchronized meditations throughout November and early December, as part of the upcoming Global Wave of Climate Action. Novasutras guided meditations emphasize the scientific truths that unite us as Earthlings. They are open to all who share some devotion to Earth care and community.

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?
“The aim of this Fast for the Climate is to presence the lived reality of the unseen millions around the world who are living with food insecurity and starvation due to climate instability and the billions who will certainly follow if we do not take radical action to avert the worst effects of climate change.” ~Keith Runyan
