10 EARTH DAY-IS-EVERY-MOMENT ACTIONS

🌏Anchor in an unshakable ecospirituality (rooted in deep time, reciprocity, humility, gratitude, love, enchantment, animist relationality)

🌏Slow down. Allow something new to emerge. Practice skills for building sky (spaciousness) & earth (grit) within (i.e. regulating our nervous system). Practice Erecting your No, stretching your Yes. 

🌏Befriend your watershed, get to know your plant kin, praise the soil, listen to River & tree elders, don’t forget the smalls 

🌏Become accomplices for indigenous sovereignty, frontline water & earth protectors, Black, Trans, and Palestinian liberation, reparations, relocalized post-capitalist economies, anti-imperial imaginings, & #Landback efforts. Decolonization is not a metaphor. 

🌏Celebrate your senses, revel in ecosensual pleasure, allow awe and wonder to move you.

🌏Tend the vast rivers of grief & rage. Co-create & participate in cultural containers of trust that hold the charge of inter-generational sacred wounds (traumas) together, that tend the pain at the root of impulses to dominate & possess, 

and that cultivate deep connection and imagination 

🌏Listen deeply for your particular callings & follow them with the commitment of a monarch butterfly’s pilgrimage—beautifully, ridiculously, and like a sacred royal fool 

🌏Build your capacity for discomfort (discern the difference between danger & discomfort) 

🌏Chip away at inherited maps, Disrupt supremacist and power-over scripts, Divest from Empire (the most ecological thing we can do is compost Patho-Adolescent Incarceral White Modernity, the mad mansion we find ourselves within). Re-Invest in cultures of Care and Repair.

🌏Learn to dance in fields beyond hope and hopelessness. Rather, become intimate with butterflies and the seasons, pace of the moon, parts of you that you’ve neglected still flitting about inside your Meadow. Let even the most disturbing questions & daring dreams drip down the canyons of you. Relinquish the binary game of shiny hope or dark despair, but let Life live through you and from there, the Wild and Wingéd Way will emerge like the butterfly from the cocoon, which not even the mightiest Empire can withstand.
