Standing for Stonehenge

All around the world, ancient sacred sites are being threatened by the delusion of progress, and allowing it to happen to these sites, like Stonehenge, further severs our connection to our ancestors, and that ancient connection to this land.

Sacred Earth Activism has been supporting the campaign to protect the sacred landscape of Stonehenge from desecration by the planned road and tunnel development. Despite the advice of countless experts, recommending any plans be rerouted away from the sacred site, Grant Shapps approved the plan to cut through this part of Salisbury plain, destroying the local environment, destroying burial sites and risking toppling the stones at Stonehenge.

Sacred Earth Activism is working alongside other groups to protect this sacred landscape, grounding our actions in ceremony, to honour and respect the spirits of the land, the spirits of place, and the ancestors of this land. Our focus is that the campaign to protect the stones be held in a sacred way, and serve to heal this wound of separation from the sacred sites of these isles.

Hearing the call of the sacred through us, we joined many others for a mass trespass at Stonehenge, earlier this month, to stand to defend the land and our sacred sites from desecration, and to return to place of remembering that we belong to the land, that it does not belong to us. We opened the campaign by calling to the spirits of the four directions, to the spirits of place and to the ancestors, to begin our campaign to protect the stones from a place of love for the sacred land.

This powerful short film was made by Le Ciel Foundation, showing members of Sacred Earth Activism, as well as footage from other speakers who stood at Stonehenge, in early December 2020, to give our pledge to this sacred site, and the beings who inhabit this sacred landscape, that we will stand with you to defend it.

This was the first of many trespasses planned for the coming months, as we continue to pledge ourselves for the protection of these sacred sites. To get involved with our Standing for Stonehenge campaign, contact us.
