Join Compassion Games Earth Month

April 5th through April 30th

“Mni Wiconi.” It means, “Water is Life.” These powerful words arose from the vision of Indigenous Youth at Standing Rock in North Dakota, and they stand strongly for the growing spirit of our time. The spirit of Mni Wiconi says: “Life is not possible without water. Therefore, it is the right of all life to have water that is safe, clean, and nourishing.” Water is Life has become a cry for unity, among people of all continents and nations, to protect and restore all that is Sacred and life-giving in our world.

Let us come together and make waves of “The Song For The Ocean”, and stand up for the ocean and our Earth through new action this month with Kristin Hoffmann a world-renowned activist singer and Evolutionary Leader. Open your hearts and listen to the call and share far and wide.

There is an ancient proverb that says:

“We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors. We borrow it from our children.”

This is the growing Spirit of Standing Rock, and this is the spirit of Water is Life! Protect the Sacred through April Earth Week growing into Earth Month April 5th through April 30th. Join us with the International Golden Rule Day April 5th through a special 24-hour Online Event as we kick off the April Compassion Games month. Learn all about what International Golden Rule Day plans will be in this video below.

What is Earth Month?

In 2012 April Compassion Games started as a 9-day global challenge to inspire acts of love, service, and compassion toward our Mother Earth and all life. Started with two teams and now 8 plus years later the Compassion Games has served over 18 million people in 70+ plus countries. It is time now in 2019 to grow from Earth Week into #EarthMonth to play April Compassion Games all month long. Game On!

This year the #EarthMonth begins on April 5th, The International Golden Rule Day continuing through April 30th, April Compassion Games catalyzes the love human beings have for the Earth by bringing people together globally to participate in a playful competition of compassionate action. This month of compassionate action is a powerful way of celebrating Earth Day, April 22nd. When you “Sign Up To Play” below, you will receive daily email mission actions and a permaculture interactive journey for 9 days leading up to Earth Day April 14th through April 22nd. The April Compassion Games is going on all month. Join us through service and compassionate action worldwide.

Through this global event, Players and Teams strive together to come up with fun, meaningful, and creative ways to develop regenerative practices that celebrate life’s interconnectivity, while cultivating a responsibility to protect and restore the Earth for future generations of life to come!

Let’s come together and celebrate all that we love on this beautiful planet, and allow this love to move us into unprecedented, unified compassionate action for our world!

April Compassion Games, Earth Month is grounded in appreciation and respect of one’s local bioregion, honoring Indigenous leadership and practices in how best to care for Mother Earth while acknowledging our human place in the web of life. Earth Month is a way to explore how we can be compassionate toward the Earth, and act in ways to discover compassion for ourselves, each other, and all members of the Earth Community.

Earth Month includes Earth Day April 22nd, an annual event to support environmental protection. Check out this Global Clean Up on Earth Day lead by Earth Day Network. This is a great example of what to do during Earth Month. Check out the Compassion Report Map for examples of action and service coming from coming around the world.

Why Play Earth Month?

Mother Earth needs our love! And we need Mother Earth!

Since it is the Earth’s water, land, and clean air that we totally depend upon for our sustenance, well-being, and future, the decision to act compassionately toward our Mother Earth is as natural as breathing. The spirit of “Protecting the Sacred” is calling us to live in unprecedented, unified action to change the narrative of our current story to one of justice, sustainability, and love for one another, all beings, and this place we call home.
