Peace and love to you in this new season of the year. As we transition into spring or autumn depending on which hemisphere we are in, may we take time to pay attention to what we are being invited into in this season. Earth holds infinite wisdom for us if we take time to listen.

Dear Friends of Earth & Soul,

Greetings to you as we near the Spring Equinox for those in the northern hemisphere and the Autumnal Equinox for those in the southern hemisphere. These moments invite us to pause as we move into a new season and all it brings.

We are filled with gratitude as 2023 comes to a close.

John Philip Newell and “Sacred Earth Sacred Soul” recently received these awards

Hello dear Friends of Earth & Soul. I am delighted to begin this new journey as Director of Earth & Soul. You are invited to read my letter of greeting where I also share with you two exciting new initiatives that are coming soon.

I am thrilled to be able to name Cami Twilling as my colleague. Cami will play a key role in reimagining the path ahead and enabling new developments. She is being appointed to assist and collaborate with me in the ongoing expression of my work as a wandering teacher and writer.

In January of this year the United Nations ordered the government of Myanmar to take measures to protect members of its Rohingya community from genocide. Thus far nothing has changed.
