At Unity of Buffalo, we believe caring for the Earth is a spiritual practice. Our EarthCare Team gathers on the second Sunday of each month to explore meaningful ways we can deepen our connection with the planet, with one another, and with Spirit.
Each month, we focus on one of the “12 Powers of Our Planet,” discovering how these spiritual qualities can inspire mindful, compassionate living. Through discussion, reflection, prayer, readings, and sacred practices, we create space to learn, grow, and reconnect with the wisdom of the natural world.
Recent gatherings have included readings from Earth Blessings on Weather, prayers from Unity resources such as How to Stay Centered, and insights from Animal Spirit Cards. In May we pulled the Snow Leopard, symbolizing inner strength, intuition, and resilience.
Whether you are passionate about environmental stewardship, curious about spiritual ecology, or simply longing for deeper connection and community, you are warmly invited to join us. No experience or prior knowledge is needed — just an open heart and a love for our beautiful planet.
