Welcome to the Sacred Path of the Earth Interbeing
We share with you sections of the work, The Sacred Path of the Earth Interbeing, a work in progress. The path has the purpose to further life on Earth in ways that care for all life and the Earth. We transform ourselves on the path from living in the ominicidal ways of the Western culture to becoming an interbeing within the sacred Earth Interbeing. To become an Earth interbeing, we stop harming life and the Earth and live the sacred ways that further life on Earth. This work serves as a companion to the I Ching of the Sacred Earth Interbeing.
