A brief intro to 'Fast for the Planet'

Fast for the Planet is a concept that is open to all, and whilst it allows for the practise of fasting to be connected to the wisdom contained within spiritual traditions, for those who find benefit through this, it is consciously inclusive. In addition, it connects with the use of fasting by key figures in human history who have been catalysts for large scale human transformation and social change

 

Fast for the Planet retains a centred approach and aims to facilitate human transformation towards a harmonious relationship with the natural order. It is thus informed by the recognition that solutions to the environmental crisis ultimately depend on human and societal transformation. The concept thus offers a further vehicle to awaken the immense potential within individuals and communities, in moving towards a sustainable, just and peaceful world.

We invite you to join in!
