Joining the spiritual charge at COP26
Sacred Earth Activism will be doing all we can to support a positive outcome from the vital COP26 climate talks being held in Glasgow from Sunday 31 October to Friday 12 November by holding a number of sacred ceremonies and events over the course of the conference.
What is happening at COP26?
This is a make or break year to tackle the climate and ecological emergency, as the window of opportunity to remain under 1.5 degrees is diminishing. World leaders will meet to discuss plans and reach agreements, but we wait to see if these will be sufficient to limit the worst effects of climate and ecological breakdown.
Interfaith Vigil
I personally am very honoured to have been asked to participate in the Interfaith Glasgow and Interfaith Scotland COP26 vigil on the eve of the talks, representing both Sacred Earth Activism and others also following Earth-centred spiritual paths.
Acorns to Oaks - Glasgow Ritual
On 1 November, Sacred Earth Activism will join forces with the Order of the Oak to hold ceremony at 1pm beside in Kelvingrove Park, before delivering a letter to world leaders asking them to support radical change to global climate strategy in order to avert catastrophe. The letter has been signed by innumerable Druids and others following Earth-centred spiritual paths, but there’s still time to add your name if you haven’t already done so – click here to make your mark.
Online Earth Vigil
My co-founder Christa Mackinnon will likewise facilitate two prayer / vigil sessions at the FaithBridge Earth Vigil on Tuesday 2 November, 1pm and 2pm.
Voices of the Earth ceremonies
At 11am on each Wednesday (3rd and 10th) of the conference, we will also be holding ceremonial space from a venue in Pollokshields on Glasgow’s Southside and invite everyone to join us and connect in.
