Eco-Spirituality

An Eco-Spirit Meditation/Prayer:

Let us practice nonviolent loving-kindness towards all life on Earth. Help us to love all creatures and co-exist with them on the planet as one “Eco-Family,” allowing them to reproduce and survive as species. Let us never forcefully take that which is not freely given to us, and help us to show compassion towards those beings less powerful than ourselves. Let us be good stewards of and care for the resources of the natural world with which we have been blessed. And let us live sustainably so that all future living organisms on our planet will experience the same quality of life that we have enjoyed during our brief visit here on Earth.

What is "Eco-Spirituality?"

No matter what your religion, no matter what you believe in spiritually, if you believe in the sacredness of Nature, the Earth, the Universe, the Creation, then the Eco-Spirit community is for you. Rather than replacing, excluding, or contradicting your current faith or religion, Eco-Spirituality provides both a supplement and a complement to existing beliefs. For many it fills a void and adds a missing or seriously lacking environmental and Eco-Spiritual component to traditional religious practice.

We of the Eco-Spirit "community" believe in the sanctity of Nature, the Earth, the Universe, the Creation. We respect and revere the natural world as a sacred manifestation of a timeless force larger than ourselves: what many of us would call God, the Creator, the Great Spirit, a higher power, the universe, or the life force. We believe that all living beings within the Creation are interconnected in a beautiful, natural web of life. We believe that in the web of life all threads, all living organisms, are of equal importance and have equal rights. We understand and acknowledge that humans cannot exist apart from Nature, and thus recognize that we are a part of Nature. In that One-ness with the Natural Universe, which is an extension of the higher power, we find unity and One-ness with God the Creator and Life Force.

Our belief in the sacredness of Nature, the Earth, the Universe, the Creation leads us to an environmental ethic that involves protecting Nature and the environment as we go about our daily lives. We express and practice Eco-Spirituality through experiencing, protecting, revering, and loving the natural world and all living beings in it.
