Our 17th annual Global Earth Exchange will be on June 20, and we hope you can join us!
This is a FREE annual worldwide event where people gather at places they love that have been wounded, neglected, or are under threat — burnt forests, polluted rivers and streams, eroded coastlines, abandoned urban spaces, clear-cut lands, reefs, deserts, or other sacred places under threat. Participants visit these places together, or even solo, spend time with these places, and create art as a gift back to the places.
The idea behind a Global Earth Exchange is simple but powerful: instead of turning away from wounded places, people turn toward them to bear witness, deepen connection to place, and to the human and nonhuman world.
Our registration form will be coming out soon, but for now, save the date!
