In this week's episode we take a dive deep into one critical global issue that is often in the headlines headlines – the increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires. As part of our ongoing focus on the element of fire, the Global Healing Response special focus theme for this quarter, we explore where we can collectively offer our intentions and prayers to support the many consequences and responses to what is increasingly becoming a global challenge.
Special Intention Focus
Given that it is estimated that 90% of all wildfires in some parts of the world result from human activity, we suggest holding as our special focus for intention this week:
We will that all who have the means to influence, educate and inform, and in all territories that are especially at risk of wild fires taking hold, will be moved to emphasise public education around fire safety in the natural environment.
Please join us in holding this.
