Story & Experience
12 members of the Earth Listening Circles of the Deep Adaptation Forum visited places local to them and did an Earth Exchange, as part of a global collaboration to listen to wounded places.
This is a field of strawberries cultivated by our local conventional farmer. He covers the Earth in plastic, sprays Roundup (Glyphosat) between the rows to keep the weeds down and uses all kinds of pesticides and fungicides. Then, each year, he throws miles of plastic away. Heartbreaking!
I drummed and called down a blessing for the Earth here. A beautiful experience I will be sure to repeat each time I walk past – which I usually avoid doing when I’m not feeling strong. Now, thanks to your impulse, I will do so often and send prayers and acts of Beauty to this wounded Earth.
