Embark on an exciting adventure with the Vita Quests — 12 transformative actions that connect you to Gya, the Living Planet. The Quests inspire personal growth, deepen your bond with nature, and advance your role in creating the Verdant Age.
A personal acknowledgement that you regard yourself as a part of Earth's biosphere — the biological sphere of life.
As cells in the body of Gya, we have common responsibilities to our fellow cells, to other people and to nature. Earthity calls upon us to be good neighbours, to live lightly on Earth and be kind.
Every cell in a body is tasked with a specific mission. So it is with us humans — except that we have agency, which means we can choose our own mission. A Vitamission helps restore Gya to full health.
Grow something, even if it is as simple as a Monstera deliciosa cheese plant. From a single plant, maybe you can help grow a forest.
Periodically visit a place where nature designs the landscape and you can escape the technosphere. Here, you will find yourself.
Once a Synodic Month, on the Full Moon — the night before or after — gather with friends and acquaintances and use this auspicious event to engage in an evening of Big Talk.
The biosphere has dangerous neighbours. Learn about what lies above (Cosmos) and below (Magma) — but don't get too close to the volcano.
Learn about Planetary Boundaries science — the nine Earth system processes that define the safe operating space for humanity.
Experience heavy weather to get a deeper connection with nature. Seek a deeper understanding of meteorology — how weather systems form. Find peace in knowing that extreme weather is coming to us all.
To avert collapse, all institutions must be reinvented — even the tradition of New Year. Before the industrial revolution, civilization was relatively sustainable. We reached the brink of ecological collapse in less than 300 years.
Know Your White Horse is an exhortation to find the rituals and ceremonies that fulfil you.
When a person dies, the minerals and energy that make up their body ought to be returned to the biochemical flux — the Vitaflux — from which they came. In this way the minerals and energy can be taken up by other life forms, a process of revitalisation.
