Earth Responders – Spring 2024

A Kinship Program Designed in Collaboration with Other Inayatiyya Activities 

By a deep insight into nature we discover that the creation is the same as the Creator. ~ Hazrat Inayat Khan

The global ecological crisis deeply impacts us all. The Earth Responders program provides insights, approaches, and tools for those who are called to bring deep presence to this most immediate need of our time.

The framework of the training is built on the foundation of the five stages Murshid gave for the development of the ideal of Kinship: Respect, Sympathy, Understanding, Forgiveness, and Unity. By embracing each of these qualities and perspectives, we prepare to serve in a deeply rooted understanding, knowing that when one part of existence suffers, we all suffer.

By appreciating our abiding interrelationship with the natural world, reading the sacred manuscript of nature, and immersing ourselves within it, we are inspired and strengthened to help protect and restore the whole web of life.
