Join Sacred Earth Activism for this Deep Time Ritual from The Work That Reconnects, to give us the chance to connect with our descendants and explore about the times we are in.

The Seventh Generation Ritual is one of the key practices within the Work that Reconnects framework. It draws inspiration from indigenous wisdom, particularly the Iroquois Confederacy's Seventh Generation Principle. This principle suggests that decisions made today should consider their impact on future generations up to seven generations into the future.

The Seventh Generation Ritual is a powerful tool for fostering a sense of intergenerational responsibility and encouraging individuals to take meaningful action to address environmental issues and work towards a more sustainable and equitable world. It aligns with the broader goals of the Work That Reconnects, which seeks to rekindle people's connection with the Earth and inspire them to become active stewards of the planet.

This Deep Time ritual (originally called the Double Circle) allows us to see the Great Turning within a larger time frame, including that of a human being of the Seventh Generation into the future, roughly two centuries from the present.

It takes seriously the words of eminent radiologist Sister Rosalie Bertell: “Every being who will ever live on Earth is here now. Where? In our gonads and ovaries and in our DNA.” -[from chapter 9 of Coming Back to Life by Joanna Macy and Molly Brown; second edition, published 2014.]
