As part of our ongoing Earth Day celebrations and this week’s Big Give , we invited some of our previous match donors to share what Nature means to them.

We are honoured that Satish Kumar, a long-time friend of the movement and a true steward of the Earth, shared these words with us.

If you are able, please donate whatever you can through the link below or in our bio.
We belong to Nature. And this week, every act of care goes twice as far.

🌍 Thank you! 🙏 🌱

Unconditional love ❤️

Mother Earth is not just nurturing, she is endurance. In myth across cultures, she is not soft in the way people expect. She creates, sustains, and reclaims. Everything is born from her, fed by her and eventually returns to her.

She gives life. And she takes it back.
Without hesitation. Because her power is not in attachment. It is in cycle. There is a version of you that gave without limits. That held everything together, supported everyone, carried more than you should have believing that your strength was in how much you could endure.

But even the earth has boundaries.
Seasons change. Ground shifts. What no longer grows is released.

Mother Earth does not cling to what cannot thrive. She lets it go. And that is the part most people ignore. Because nurturing is not meant to come at the cost of your own stability. Giving is not meant to drain you. Supporting is not meant to leave you empty.

You were never meant to hold everything.
You were meant to sustain what is aligned.
And release what is not. So if you feel like you’ve been carrying too much, giving too much, holding onto things that no longer grow. Look at the earth.

She does not question when it’s time to shed. She does not hesitate when something has reached its end. She trusts the cycle.

And so should you.

Because your power is not just in what you can hold together, It is in what you are strong enough to release.

Just a little reminder to be/take/make a step that enables a change in your life.....🙏

“Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can’t practice any other virtue consistently.” — Maya Angelou

At FDCW, we see this every day in the 16 Guidelines. Compassion, honesty, generosity, patience—these aren’t just ideals we agree with; they’re choices we live. And that takes courage: the courage to pause instead of react, to speak truth with care, to hold boundaries, to repair when we miss the mark, and to begin again.

With our upcoming theme for April, we’ll be exploring the shadow side of courage.

This week, what’s one small courageous step that would support the virtues you care about most?

Well well well .... have a lovely day 💗

"Why not be willing to live and act intuitively and inspirationally? When you do, you are functioning from a raised state of consciousness and are receptive to the new."

More International Women's Month highlights: Ofir Levit is a 16 Guidelines facilitator who founded “The Jaffa Balcony” in Israel – a place where women of different religious backgrounds can meet and connect. She describes how the Balcony came about and what she has learned during the process:

“Over the past six years, I have been guiding mindfulness and meditation workshops for groups and individuals. Three years ago, I began looking for a larger space in Jaffa to host these workshops. During my search, I discovered a special place with a beautiful sea view in the Ajami neighborhood in Jaffa. Ajami is a mixed neighborhood where Muslim, Christian, and Jewish people live. This area is known for struggling over many years with religious and cultural conflicts.

Despite (and maybe even because of) this, I felt this is the right place for me and my family to grow roots.

During my workshops, people began asking me for refreshments between meditation sessions. That need made me realize that I could create a synergetic connection with my talented neighbors: Fadia, my Christian Arabic next-door neighbour who is a chef; Lilian, my Christian Arabic neighbour who is a fantastic cook specializing in Galilee Arabic cuisine, and Alya, my Muslim Arabic neighbour who cooks the most delicious Arabic version of dolmades.

That collaboration of the four of us was and still is, the heart of the Jaffa Balcony.

Our working, cooking, and hosting together forms a unique collaboration that melted many boundaries and removed labels that had been there before."
