The Vows of the Work That Reconnects

We were reminded of these vows yesterday during the Gaian Gathering. These are words that we can voice aloud while witnessed in a workshop or to ourselves, as we are always witnessed by the Earth and each other in a myriad of ways. They are such profound anchors for our collective in this time of Great Turning…

I vow to myself and to each of you to commit myself daily to the healing of our world and the welfare of all beings. 

 I vow to myself and to each of you to live on Earth more lightly and less violently in the food, products and energy I consume.

 I vow to myself and to each of you to draw strength and guidance from the living Earth, the ancestors, the future beings and our kin of all species. 

I vow to myself and to each of you to seek liberation from patriarchy, colonialism, and racism in all dimensions of my life.

 I vow to myself and to each of you to support you in your work for the world, and to ask for help when I need it.

 I vow to myself and to each of you to pursue a daily spiritual practice that clarifies my mind, strengthens my heart and supports me in observing these vows.
