Dear EarthWays Community,
This is a most unusual summer for EarthWays, to be sure. What makes it so unusual is that once the Men's Fast was completed on June 9th, there will not be another program until September 14. A whole summer without a program, due to sabbaticals, retiring, and other engagements.
However, this does not mean you cannot remember and engage with deep earth time! Here are some suggestions:
~ Sit Spot: every day, take a few moments to sit quietly in the very same spot to notice who is there, how it changes. Slow down to look and be aware.
~ Ask a friend to do a DayWalk with you ( or half day). Sit together first, share intentions, step over e threshold marker ( stick on ground, or through an arch in trees) into sacred time, and meet back after to tell your stories to one another and reflect back what you heard.
~Pick a summertime practice; observe as many sunrises and sunsets as possible, grow plants for bees and birds, try a new hiking trail, or even walk your neighborhood with new eyes.
So, until Fall, get out there and enjoy the wonder of the earth,
Scott, Vanessa, Roy, O, Logan, Cynthia, Sahara
