Earth Listening Circle 6:30 – 9 p.m. Oct. 10 Online
The Pachamama Alliance has created this listening process to help identify ways to accelerate an evolutionary leap that transforms our species’ dominant way of being from human supremacy to human responsibility and sacred reciprocity with Earth, one another, and all life. By participating in the Listening Circle, you will be playing a small but important part in this discernment process.
