Novasutras Movement

This meditation for planetary well-being helps practitioners appreciate their connection with other people and the more-than-human world.

This Novasutras guided meditation is open to people with any level of meditation experience. It helps practitioners appreciate their connection with other people and the more-than-human world. A body scan and breathing practice help you find a meditative state. Gentle guiding words provide an introduction to agaya - wonder, awe, joy and reverence for the deep, sacred beauty of the universe - and ubuntu - celebration and gratitude for the profound interconnections between all beings. Descriptions and images of the beauty of Nature invite you deeper into feelings of relaxation, appreciation, wonder, and deep connection with all beings and our sacred universe. This meditation practice will nurture and uplift you in your own work as a change agent working for a world of peace, unity and Earth care, a world that abides in agaya and ubuntu.We are very excited to offer this meditation for well-being in partnership with <a href="https://worldunityweek.org" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">World Unity Week</a>.

Michelle began her career as an evolutionary anthropologist. She studied the social behavior of wild bonobos in the rainforests of Congo and orangutans in Indonesia in the late 1990s. Her research watching these apes confirmed the importance of social affiliation (a step toward loving-kindness and community) in the capacity for cultural learning. What she experienced in her research in the tropical rainforests of Africa and Asia catalyzed her commitment to work for global transformation. After seeing the effects of deforestation in the tropics and looking for the underlying causes of that crisis, she began to study systems thinking and work on global Education for Sustainability – especially on transforming teaching in colleges and universities around the world. She later turned her full focus to activism and community organizing. She developed the Novasutras movement's core ideas and online presence, recording guided meditations, and leading online and local events near her home in Santa Cruz, California. She also facilitates Pachamama Alliance programs, and was actively involved in the 2019 Global Climate Strike Coalition in Santa Cruz.Learn more at <a href="https://novasutras.org" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Novasutras.org</a>.
