Let’s rethink how we organize time on this planet. This calendar is meant to serve as a tool for helping us attune to the natural rhythms of our earth so that we may live in greater harmony with ourselves, each other, and our planet.
“Live each season
as it passes;
breathe the air,
drink the drink,
taste the fruit,
and resign yourself
to the influence
of the earth.”
— Henry David Thoreau
This calendar is also a fundraising project. Each year, a portion of the profits will be donated to an organization or project who is doing awesome work for our earth, and the people, plants, and creatures who inhabit it.
2021 Gift
Well, this year’s “gift” turned into something quite different than last year. Instead of giving this money to awesome non-profits, I decided to give it to a cause that I hope will ripple out into all my relations and bloom into beautiful offerings for years to come. This year, the profits I made on the calendar are going towards my herbal education at the California School of Herbal Studies. This has been a long time dream of mine to attend an educational institution that is rooted in the earth and aims to serve humanity through holistic health practices. I cannot wait to see where this journey will lead. Thank you all for your interest in the Earth Dance Calendars to help fund this experience.
2020 Gift
In 2020, 67% of profits generated from the 1st round of sales of this calendar will be donated to two communities I’m a part of who need a little extra help weathering the storm of 2020 so that they can keep doing their great work.

What about next year?
If you know of an organization or project who is doing great work for our earth, please let me know by nominating them for next year’s gift.
Ideas about who or what to nominate:
Wisdom Holders and Earth Protectors who need some extra support
Ecosystem Rehabilitation Projects who need funds to complete their project
