Our 17th Annual Global Earth Exchange!

Saturday, June 20th Worldwide

The Earth gives so much to us—by participating in the Global Earth Exchange, we can collectively honor and give back to places we love!

At a time when many people feel grief, helplessness, or disconnection in the face of ecological loss and other world events, the Global Earth Exchange offers something different: a chance to respond with beauty, gratitude, and care.

Every year since 2010, people around the world have gathered on or near the solstice to honor places they love that are wounded, threatened, or in need of care. Together, we bear witness to these places and offer simple acts of giving back to places such as prayer, song, storytelling, and creating an offering of art.

Because damaged places still hold beauty, meaning, and life, and they deserve our attention.

We hope you can join us in this shared global ritual of gratitude and reciprocity for the Earth.

Choose a place you love that has been harmed or is under threat—a beach, forest, river, neighborhood, park, or even your own backyard. Go alone, or gather friends, family, neighbors, or community members. Then offer a simple act of care or beauty.

You might:

• Create art, music, poetry, or prayer
• Hold a gathering or ceremony
• Share stories about the place
• Sit quietly and bear witness

There is no right way to participate. No place is too small. No act of care is insignificant.

Participants often describe the experience as deeply moving—leaving them transformed,  feeling more connected, hopeful, grounded, and alive.

This is more than an event. It is a growing worldwide tradition of remembrance, reciprocity, and belonging.

Choose a place you love, and join this act of care for the Earth by signing up below!
