Earth Day 2020 Celebration

Planting Seeds for a New Normal

Parmarth Niketan and the Global Interfaith WASH Alliance, on 22nd April 2020 are bringing together Faith Leaders from all over the world to unite with one vision of how humanity can move forward from this crisis into a period of healing and harmony with ourselves and Mother Nature.

How can we create a world where both the Earth and humanity can be healthy? What seeds of love, unity and oneness do we need to be planting and nourishing during this time for the garden of the ‘new normal’ to grow? How are we going to co-create a new way of living?
