Story & Experience
Act of Beauty: We surrounded the elm (inner circles and outer circles), hummed a song and hugged her. Our dog accompanied us with his barking. We sat in her roots and enjoyed the view to the sky and clouds. We listened to the wind who stroked through her branches and who talked to us. Notes about the Experience (What participants said, what they experienced, any difference you noticed about the place at the end of your Earth Exchange, reactions, etc.):
It was a wonderful experience. We gave our elm strength and energy (rainbow) since we learnt about the date of the Global Earth Exchange Day. We were and we are sending her energy when we were / are making a dog’s walk. Sometimes we just visit her and hug her or we have lunch embedded in her roots. When we attended her this Saturday, her branches didn’t go straight into the sky. We stayed there, hugged and surrounded her. When we made a wider circle we could see how she reached for the whole sky and the universe. She led our energy into it and I felt my connection with it. Carla Planzer-Campell
