Remembering Earth Time

These three talks were given at a retreat on the theme of Remembering Earth Time at The Sharpham Trust in Devon, UK, in April 2024. The first talk explores the ways in which we have extracted time from the fabric of creation and turned it into a tool of control and a marker of progress. By reducing its mystery into a singular expression—the tick of the clock—we have forgotten the axis of love that runs through time. The second talk explores the profound connection between time and place. It highlights how this intimate relationship can be awakened, fostering ties of  kinship, when we attune our senses to the cyclical rhythms present in the landscapes surrounding us. The third talk offers a perspective for understanding Earth time that transcends linear thinking. It emphasizes the principles and practices of spiritual ecology which enables the essence of love to emerge.
