Throughout the Earth Hour Campaign, we host a range of environmental initiatives, such as a Sacred Earth Circle during lights out, a community cleanup, a bike ride through the railway trails, a sustainable gardening workshop, school visits, lunch and learns, educational presentations, and a natural healing walk to inspire environmental action, teach sustainable practices, raise awareness about biodiversity, and encourage respect for the natural world. These initiatives are open to all ages, so we welcome schools, businesses, families and community organizations to get involved.
Sacred Earth Circle
Switch off your lights and join Naturopath and Spiritual Teacher Dr. Kathia Roberts from SOAR Journeys and Ashley K. Gardener, Bermuda's renowned Geo Love Master Healer, for a Sacred Earth Circle at Spirit House during Earth Hour, the largest global movement for nature. This event is more than a moment of reflection; it's a call to action. With Dr. Kathia’s & Ashley's guidance, we'll tap into the earth's powerful energies, nature’s elements, and earth-based shamanic practices, fostering a movement of harmony far beyond the hour. Be part of this transformative Earth-healing journey. Mark your calendars for an unforgettable experience of unity, healing, and global awakening.
Natural Healing Walk
Join us on Sunday, April 13th for an immersive experience that helps people connect with nature, ground themselves, and learn about wild edible plants can be both transformational and educational. Roots and Remedies: A Journey into Nature’s Healing involves a holistic approach that incorporates sensory engagement (sight, taste, touch, smell) and body-mind alignment with nature, blending knowledge with practice in a way that is both practical and healing. The purpose of the initiative is to guide participants in connecting with nature, grounding themselves, and learning how wild edible plants can heal, nourish, and support sustainable living practices. Be astonished by the flavours we encounter in the wild; from scurvy grass to the sea purslane, which has a distinctive salty taste, it’s all there to be discovered. Sign up today for an experience that promises to enlighten your five senses, deepen your appreciation for nature, and strengthen your connection with self.
Railway Trail Ride
Did you know that there were railway trails from Hamilton to Somerset Village? If so, have you experienced them all? If your answer is no to either of those questions you should meet us at Waterville on Sunday, May 4th for a special experience travelling through some of Bermuda's most unique nature reserves on a pleasant ride from Hamilton to Dockyard and a complimentary trip back to Hamilton on the ferry. Myles Darrell of the Bermuda National Trust will lead the ride to share his knowledge about nature reserves and historical sites through the trails. We'll also discuss the diverse plant species, examine the limestone formations, ride through various terrains, smell the natural aromas, and capture the breathtaking views. And by the way, if your answer is yes to those same questions, you already know how amazing it is and will need no encouragement to attend. FYI: Several local vendors will rent you a pedal bike or an e-bike should you need one. Contact us for help.
Sustainable Farming Workshop
Join us on Saturday, April 19th for a walking tour of FoodForest. An ecological microsystem of biological sustainability that incorporates several varieties of fruits, vegetables, roots, berries, and nuts.
