Many Seeds, One Garden: Lessons from Sacred Groves of India

India has a tradition of growing and maintaining sacred groves. There are thousands of sacred groves in India. These are natural or near-natural vegetation that is preserved by the local communities and is believed to be presided over by a deity who offers protection to all life forms within the groves. In addition to having cultural significance, it serves as an ecological and medicinal reserve, helping to conserve biodiversity.

As part of celebrations marking International Mother Earth Day, we invite you to a talk by the National Director of New Acropolis, Yaron Barzilay, who will share with us his insights from his philosophical experience and his explorations from the sacred groves of India on how we could live and thrive in union through all our differences.
