3rd Annual Global Day of Listening

Around the world — as individuals and in groups — we can pause to re-member how it is when we listen to Nature’s 3.8-billion-year-old wisdom.

Why Listen?

A Better Way Forward

Nature has been perfecting systems and designs for 3.8 billion years. They work — or you would not be reading this today. In this time of climate crisis, cultural fragmentation, and systems collapse, we can work with life itself and re-member how to thrive — with Nature, with ourselves, with one another, and with the children of tomorrow.

“When we listen, we can begin to hear. When we listen, we can begin to know.”

What It Means

You listen with Nature

For guidance and inspiration, knowing YOU are part of Nature.

You listen to more than human voices

For the voices that have been silenced for too long.

You listen for solutions

Rooted in reciprocity and interconnection.

You hear the joy

That is found in listening and living re-membered with Nature.

Imagine

Nature can be our
greatest teacher. Imagine...

What a tree can teach us about strength and flexibility…

What a coral reef can teach us about collaboration…

What a jungle forest can teach us about diversity…

What a flock of birds can teach us about leadership…

What a peach tree blossoming can teach us about love…
