What is a Land Connection and Blessing?

A land blessing is a relationship that is created between the Earth and a human being. Out of that relationship comes this beautiful energy that we can call a blessing. Is the Earth blessing? Is the human blessing? Or is it both combining and becoming one that creates the blessing?

It’s a mystery. There is no one answer to what a land blessing is. But something happens during that time and place where all becomes one.

A land blessing is an opportunity to reconnect with the land. It’s a moment that you take to show your respect for the land, your interconnectedness with all living creatures, and your appreciation for the bounty of nature. It’s something you do for yourself, those you care about, and the generations to come.

Why do this now?

 

When there is a separation, a struggle in life, we need to get back into connection with the Earth. – Adelia Sandoval

 

Many people these days are experiencing separation and struggle. Our lives have become disconnected in so many ways. At Earthroots Field School we believe that Adelia is right, we all need to get back into connection with the Earth. We want to help people do just that.

We want to help them feel less separated, to recognize their connection to each other and all living things. It’s a small thing that we can all do that potentially can have a great impact.

 

It’s the right thing to do, and there is no wrong way to do it.
