Earth Heart … Sweating our Prayers for the Earth …

When Yves and Phara sat together with Anne Wislez and Ton van der Kroon in our home base in Portugal last December, we drew four cards concerning the start of the Amazon project on November 20, 2025.
The cards we drew were and are a symbolic reflection of the journey we have made over the past year and where we are now… and a magical interplay between the elements of earth, water, fire, and air…
I’d like to share them below.

Anne and Ton are in Manaus, Brazil, for this period and will hold a ceremony at Antonio’s Lodge where they are staying. Meanwhile, the day after tomorrow, some 400 ceremonies, rituals, gatherings, and circles will take place around the world.
We chose a sweat lodge ceremony to honor the Earth and offer our prayers for a New Earth.

On Thursday evening, we will be hosting two sweat lodges in Kasterlee, Belgium,
one for women (guided by Veerle Phara) and one for men (guided by Yves).

These sweat lodges are dedicated to

& THE EARTH
Planet Earth, our home, which provides us daily with everything that makes life possible: food, water, oxygen, and an infinite source of beauty. She is a living being, a breathing entity of forests, oceans, mountains, and air. Her nature is incredible, breathtaking, and full of wonders that have nourished, protected, and inspired generations.
Yet, this life force is increasingly being weakened. Deforestation is robbing the Earth of its lungs, pollution is suffocating oceans and rivers, and mass consumption is driving the depletion of resources. Humanity is placing itself above nature, as if it were merely a means to an end rather than a source of life. Cities are growing, while the connection to the Earth is weakening.
Instead of drawing closer to nature, people are becoming increasingly disconnected from its rhythm. The earth doesn’t ask for possession, but for respect. Respect for its cycles, its silence, its power. Only by listening again, protecting, and living in harmony can balance be restored.
Respect for the earth is respect for life itself.

& THE EARTH WITHIN US AND A (RE)BALANCE WITH ALL THE ELEMENTS WITHIN US.
As within, so without. The earth outside us reflects the earth within us. We live in intense times, where what is not healed within reveals itself without. When the earth is weakened, we weaken ourselves, for we are connected to everything and everyone.
Within every person live the elements of nature: earth, water, fire, air, and wind. These forces form the foundation of our existence. When one element becomes unbalanced, it disrupts the harmony within ourselves and in the world around us.
A sweat lodge ceremony brings these elements back into balance. In the warmth of the fire, the steam of the water, the breath of the air, and the firmness of the earth, the body is cleansed and mind, heart, and soul are restored.
Two special sweat lodges, dedicated to healing and empowerment—for the earth, for our own hearts, for all our loved ones and relatives, and for the greater collective. A moment of connection, gratitude, and remembrance of who we truly are: part of the earth, part of the greater mycelium.
