Each year, September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

The day honours the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.

There are a few things you can do to honour this day and events you can be part of.

World Rivers Day, celebrated each year on the fourth Sunday of September, is a global event that shines a spotlight on the vital importance of rivers.

Rivers are the lifeblood of our planet. They nourish ecosystems, sustain communities, and carry the stories of cultures that have flourished along their banks for millennia. From providing clean drinking water and fertile soil to offering spiritual inspiration and recreation, rivers connect us all in countless ways. Yet, they also face mounting pressures—from pollution and climate change to overuse and habitat destruction.

A spiritual practice of wandering with the Holy Wild. As you enter into your wandering in the Holy Wild, begin by setting an intention: to notice the abundance the earth is offering.
