Environmental Leadership Training Blessing

by Judith Felsen, Ph.D.

To you who yearn to be a voice for our Earth,

be it a  whisper shared locally

or a call heard globally,

may you speak for that which cannot share itself

and protect that which cannot defend itself.

To you who are called to be our planet’s leaders

may you serve as connector of peoples and plants

and keep the heart of the earth and soul of nature

close and present in your mind.

To you who are guardians of gaia

and caregivers for all that seek to thrive in our world

may you join with beings in nature to share concerns

so that all will know earth’s truths

as felt in the heart

and sensed in the mind as one.

To you who have accepted the task of stewardship

may you feel empowered by the strength of the wind,

blessed by the waters of dew, snow and rain,

comforted by the warmth of sunlight and  gentleness of moonbeams,

and may you be guided by all that has been given you within and without

to keep your direction clear, your courage strong and your heart open.

Thank you to all of you.

Let the joining and work begin!
