This year, Earth Day 2026 is focusing on the practical. From “community cleanups, teach-ins, peaceful demonstrations, tree planting, voter registration, town hall meetings, community organizing” and everything in between, this Earth Day is all about action. Because of this focus, Earth Day organising begins this year on Saturday April 18 and runs across the weekend and into the week ahead. The World Community for Christian Meditation is also committed to action: action that rises from an encounter with the fullness of Love. This Love divine transforms us for action that is considered, attentive, and non-violent. Our World Community for Christian Meditation Australia (NSW) day together will explore how meditation and action can combine. An action has been chosen for this seminar: tree planting. You may have a tree planting plan for the day ready to go, or one can be developed on the day. Whether it be in the back yard or as part of a larger event, tree planting is how we will respond to this Earth Day invitation. The day will begin with some teaching and meditation. We will then move into the practicalities of tree planting itself. Those of us on site at the Blayney Eco Hub will plant there. Those attending online are invited to have a young tree/s ready to go or be ready to plan something for the week ahead. After lunch we will come together and reflect.
