Even at a cursory reading of the New Testament, it appears quite clearly that the events of the Passion of Jesus are almost identical in the four canonical Gospels — more specifically, each Gospel after Mark adds meaningful details to the same plot. The stories of the Resurrection of Jesus, instea...

I write this DM on Tuesday morning. When DM readers read this on Wednesday, we will probably know whether the threats by the president of the United States to destroy an entire civilization have come through or not. In many ways, the damage is already done, the cat is out of the bag. The truth […]

In his excellent book on Emily Dickinson: A Medicine Woman for Our Times, Jungian analyst Steven Herrmann (who, for transparency’s sake, I confess is a friend of mine) shares Dickinson’s insights about Resurrection. He cites Jung on the Resurrection: The better we understand the archetype, the m...

I ended my Saturday DM on “Easter 2026” with the phrase, “We become an Easter.” I want to give credit where credit is due. I am borrowing from Mechtild of Magdeburg who wrote: God speaks: When your Easter comes I shall be all around you, I shall be through and through you And I shall […]

Easter is many things to many people, as are Passover and the crucifixion of Good Friday. That is the power of religious belief when it is not hardened into iron-clad dogmas, but is allowed to breathe. It speaks to us of universal longings, passions, and fears. When its symbols are not owned by an e...

After offering quite an extended reflection on the cross of Jesus in yesterday’s DM, I would like to invite you today into an artistic meditative experience, more right-brain than left-brain. I have found on YouTube a quite remarkable work of art, a video watched already by almost two and a half m...

There are several ways to understand the complex set of texts that goes under the name of the New Testament. One such way is to divide them into two portions: a recollection of the things that Jesus said and did, and a meditation about the facts surrounding his violent death. Matthew Fox has often w...

Yesterday we shared the first part of Gerard Manley Hopkins’ poem comparing Mary to the air we breathe. Here we share the second part with a brief commentary on the poem. Hopkins, a 19th century Jesuit poet and mystic, is thoroughly creation-centered as is evident in this poem. Again, look overh.....

Please join the international Order of the Sacred Earth community today, Tuesday, March 31st at 4pm Pacific/7pm Eastern for our hour-long council meeting.

Mark your calendars as we meet on the last Tuesday of each month. Zoom information below in the comments!

Each time we've met to practice council over the past 8 years, we've enjoyed connecting with this incredible community as it ebbs and flows. Being present with one another within the sacredness of life is a powerful experience -even on Zoom!

Often, we feel grief about the destruction of our Earth while simultaneously feeling expansiveness and new transformative possibilities emerging. Sometimes there's a buzz around the incredible work that so many are doing to make our world more resonant with Earth while inspiring each of us to live our own unique Earth-centered purpose.

One thing that remains constant is that we often leave these meetings feeling nourished and supported in a variety of ways by a diversity of people from around the planet who care deeply.

We're calling each other into the presence of a new dynamic moment with unknown potentials for how to lean into the vulnerability of connection, our longings and our fulfillments.

What we are being asked to do as a species seems almost beyond imagining.

The challenges we face seem impossible even to the most optimistic humans. The end seems imminent. And yet, we know that this has always been true in moments of unraveling when a seismic transformation is taking place within the Universe.

We've seen that the way out of depression and despair is through love, gratitude, and aligned action. In connecting with others who are engaged in the creative act of seeing and becoming a consciously united Earth community we can motivate ourselves to give our all, again and again.

We are coming to identify with new ways of being with a new understanding of who we are and what we are here to do. As we lean into this process together, new possibilities become accessible to participate in our own transformation.

Consider the challenge of bringing life into existence! The Over billions of years, Earth has held space for rocks and then bacteria to evolve into whales, humming birds, and humans! The challenge before us now is equally gargantuan and yet all of the elements needed for this creative task of bringing humanity together in service of life are here now...calling us to rise to a new level of consciousness, to become a new species within the Universe’s and the Earth’s mind. Can you feel it? Either way, join us to enter into a creative process that can only happen within community!

This will be a time to connect in community around the theme of building and expanding a culture who honours the sacredness of Earth's life-creating processes. Our intention is to create a container for connection and networking with others who are putting forth the intention and effort needed to make a difference within these crucial and challenging times. We have also enjoyed providing a space for new people to join us to learn more about this movement and to share how they are being called to participate in the Great Turning of humanity.

In the past, we've had between 12-65 people join us from all over the world so the format changes from month to month. There will be time to briefly share what you're up to, what is present in your heart, or anything else that feels relevant to you and this movement. More than anything, this is a place to listen to one another and to reflect upon the creativity and love that is present within our extended network.

It was a special grace for me to reconnect a week ago with David Abram, whose book The Spell of the Sensuous was a groundbreaker for me and others 30 years ago. He and I interacted last Tuesday in my current class on the Common Good sponsored by Cameron Trimble and her organization, Convergence. Our...
