The Earth Body | Jake Haber

Check out Sunday's message on our connection to the planet!

As spring emerges and the Earth wakes from dormancy, we’re invited to awaken, too—not just to warmth and light, but to a reconnection with something we’ve long forgotten: our bodies and the Earth itself.

 

In a world dominated by screens, data, and disembodied living, many of us have lost touch with the very ground we stand on. This message explores how our physical bodies are miracles of connection and intelligence, how the Earth mirrors that same wisdom, and how remembering our place within the web of life can be both humbling and liberating.

 

We look at the cost of disconnection—from spiritual illness to ecological collapse—and what it means to come back to a sense of belonging. You’ll hear reflections on indigenous wisdom, body intelligence, and the deep ecology of our being. Not just as individuals, but as vital cells in the Earth’s body.

 

Join us on a journey home—back into your body, back to the Earth, and forward into a more connected way of being.

Quotes:

Alan Watts:

“We do not ‘come into’ this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree.”

Bruce Lipton:

“Your body is a community of 50 trillion living cells, all working together in harmony. This is the power of a single consciousness guiding them.”

Thomas Berry:

“Our challenge is to create a new language, even a new sense of what it is to be human, in the presence of an Earth community.”

Jiddu Krishnamurti:

“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”

Cree Proverb:

“Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish been caught, and the last stream poisoned, will we realize we cannot eat money.”

Bill Plotkin:

• “Eco-awakening is the process of shifting your identity from that of an isolated human individual to that of an ecological being interwoven with the community of life…An eco-awakening means seeing yourself as a participant in the natural world rather than a detached observer or exploiter.”

• “When people no longer understand that they belong to the Earth, they become dangerous to the Earth.”

Robin Wall Kimmerer:

“Let us walk through life in the humble knowledge that we are not the masters of creation, but part of its great dance. May we know the quiet dignity of mosses and the fierce grace of the river. May we listen to the stories the land tells us, and may our lives become a prayer of gratitude to the living world around us.”
