Earth's Three Green Hearts: an Equinox Rainforest Celebration - Novasutras

In Novasutras, we enact change through ecospiritual community. We reawaken our deepest connection with our living world to reclaim our joy, honor our pain, grow trusted relationships, and take meaningful action in service to all life.

Novasutras Movement

Guided meditation for equatorial rainforests, global well-being and loving-kindness, plus interactive celebration and conversation.

Earth Connection Meditations

Guided ecospiritual meditations, emphasizing connection and loving-kindness for all beings. These practices integrate the very local and specific with global perspectives, reminding us of our interdependence as Earthlings, united in our beloved biosphere.

Octal Celebrations

Octal Celebrations on Equinoxes, Solstices & Cross-Quarters include meditation, conversation and interactive practices to build global community.

All are welcome to join us in meditation and celebration!

Our guided meditation will feature a message of global wellness, joy and loving-kindness for all beings, with a special emphasis on the world's equatorial rainforests. We are invited to reconnect with the beauty and wonder of nature. How do we welcome more love and joy for all our relations? What shall we leave behind, as we move into the next turning of our dance around the Sun? What beautiful possibilities beckon us toward the future?Novasutras is collaborating with people and organizations around the world to save <a href="https://novasutras.org/earths-three-green-hearts/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Earth’s Three Green Hearts</a>: <a href="https://novasutras.org/earths-three-green-hearts/amazonia/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Amazonia</a>, <a href="https://novasutras.org/congo/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Congo</a>, and <a href="https://novasutras.org/sundaland/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Sundaland</a>.
