“Let the beauty we love be what we do

– Rumi
The Green Exodus is convening those who, to their surprise, find themselves falling deeply in love with the Earth; profoundly touched by the Earth’s beauty, fragility and mystery.
How can we be good soil for this new view and love of Earth and for all that might arise?
We use various practices to realign our relationship with the earth: meditation, poetry, land acknowledgment, land embodiment, contemplative photography, deep time walk, community conversations and hospitality. We are nurtured by Indigenous, Christian and Buddhist wisdom traditions and by conservationists and earth keepers.
Upcoming events
Green Exodus is home in the Bow Valley Corridor and in Moh’kinstsis (Calgary, Alberta), on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Îyâxe Nakoda Nations, and the Métis Nation (Region 3).
The Green Exodus is convening those who, to their surprise, find themselves falling deeply in love with the Earth; profoundly touched by the Earth’s beauty, fragility and mystery. If you would like to support this work, please consider making a contribution.
