On May 17, WCCMA (NSW) ran a Meditatio Seminar entitled ‘Meditation as a Renewable Energy Source’ This seminar was organised to coincide with Earth Day 2025. The theme for this year’s Earth Day was ‘Our Power, Our Planet’. Organisers of the day invited people around the world to focus on the importance of renewable electricity production to our planet.  

Our World Community for Christian Meditation Australia (NSW) day explored how meditation can be a part of this renewable energy solution. The way energy is produced on our planet is rapidly changing. Renewable energy production is no longer the future; it is happening now. However, during the next five to ten years, the global use of solar, wind, geothermal, tidal, and hydro sources to produce electricity must increase substantially. When this happens enough, the way electricity is produced will no longer contribute to the climate change threat occurring on planet Earth.  

The seminar explored how meditation itself is a part of the renewable energy solution for our planet. As these two audio sessions from our teacher for the day, Rev. Linda Chapman, help us to see, meditation allows personal energy to be renewed by God, the divine Source. Rather than relying on the ‘dirty energy’ of ego, our meditation practice grounds us both personally and communally in the divine - the source of all life. Importantly, as this happens, we become more creatively and energetically free to be a part of the overall energy solution for our planet.

Along with this seminar, we have also launched a bi-monthly newsletter. This first edition, for June 2025, suggests some practical things we can do, along with our meditation practice, that can have us being a part of the solution to this climate and bio-diversity crisis. This and subsequent newsletters will help keep us up to date about news regarding the environment. This first edition also highlights some of the resources that are available via the WCCM.
