A project by Samye Foundation Wales

Mother Earth Group project

The Mother Earth Group Project (MEG) run by the Samye Foundation Wales aims to protect the environment, promote sustainable living, and provide mindfulness training to people to help alleviate stress and anxiety and improve mental health and well-being. As an organization dedicated to environmental sustainability and mental well-being, we believe that we must take action to protect the planet we all call home while also helping people find inner peace and balance.
We intend to integrate mindfulness and sustainable development which makes us unique.
Mindfulness is defined as the practice of being present in the moment with non-judgmental
awareness can play a crucial role in promoting sustainable development practices. Mindfulness can help individuals and communities cultivate the awareness, empathy, and compassion needed to make sustainable choices. Mindfulness can aid people to become more aware of their consumption patterns and the impact they have on the environment. Mindfulness can also help individuals and communities build resilience in the face of environmental challenges such as climate change.
The Mother Earth Group project aims to do the following:

Mindfulness and Mental Wellbeing: We will teach people how to be mindful and reduce stress,
anxiety, and depression through various activities such as mindfulness courses for the environment to increase inner core mental strength, yoga, meditation, and nature walks. This will promote mental well-being and help people develop a deeper connection with nature.

Sustainable Living: We will run 'get together' groups where teachings are conducted on how to live more sustainably with the earth by following the MEG program. This will help people understand the importance of sustainable living and how their actions impact the environment.

Individual Action: We will aim to change people's mindsets by demonstrating how they can make a difference in the environment as individuals. This will empower people to proactively act and become more environmentally conscious.

Environmental Education: We will invite environmental speakers to give talks and hold workshops on various topics related to environmental sustainability and the importance of wildlife conservation. This will be woven into our mindfulness courses and provide people with knowledge and inspiration to act for the environment.

Outdoor Workshops: We will hold outdoor workshops on gardening, growing organically, foraging, and survival skills. This will teach people practical skills and help them develop a deeper appreciation for nature.

Carbon Footprint Awareness: We will encourage people to become aware of their carbon
footprint on the earth and provide them with tools and resources to reduce their impact.
