GLOBAL DAY OF 

STOP

SEPT. 22

GLOBAL DAY OF 

RECLAIM

WE ARE NOT WORTHLESS STONES... WE ARE DIAMONDS.

We stop to remember
that we are not cogs in a gluttonous system.
We are creators.
We are caretakers.
We are the soul of the Earth, and
We will not be mined for profit.
We stop to reclaim
our right to rest, to feel, to imagine.
Our right to stop regression.
Our right to say no to oppression.'
Our right to choice.
Our right to say yes to something better.
We stop to rise.
As individuals, coming together
To create a constellation—
a network of light,
a quiet evolution of presence.
Let the Earth rejoice and feel our return.

May this mark the beginning of a radiant elevation within you... With all of us!

 The 21st also marks the start of World UNITY Week, a global gathering focused on truth, beauty, and goodness.

How can I participate?
