An offering in service to rebalancing the whole.

Body as Earth is the meeting of ourselves as nature. From that meeting place, may we unfold into the deep belonging that we all seek.

We are witnessing this climate catastrophe unfold at the most rapid pace in this time of humanity. The violence forces of prioritising capitalistic agenda over planetary health will lead us only to further destruction. This is a moment of precipice that requires a radical pivot to counter balance these destructive systemic forces; and rebalance the whole.

Spiritually, this is known as a time of Kali-Yuga, a time of spiritual darkness encapsulated by greed and a decline of morality. Since we are alive in this time, we hold the response ability to find our place in this collapse and to uplift ourselves, and each other.

By changing our perspective, we can change the way we live, and by changing the way we live, we can change the way we work and impact others.

The initial inception of Body as Earth was a small weekly gathering of women in 2019 sharing healing practices together. Throughout the pandemic, this was a little pocket of refuge rooted in a politics of care that created the fertile soil for what Body as Earth is today.

These digital spaces are a fragmentary node of the broader Body as Earth. We are more active on the grounds than in the digital – working directly with native healers, being an indigenous ally, seeking and offering belonging in community, rooting in localised action, and living in a way that centers earth-based wisdom.
