Making Earth Day Every Day: Join Our 22-Day Applied Eco-Arts Challenge

#EveryBodyEveryDay

Posted: April 3, 2025

Earth Day is approaching, and this year, we're inviting you to go beyond a single day of awareness. Starting April 22, 2025, join us for a transformative 22-day journey through Applied Eco-Arts—a powerful approach that weaves together creative expression, ecological awareness, and community regeneration.

What is Applied Eco-Arts?

Applied Eco-Arts is more than just creating nature-inspired art. It's a practice that reconnects us with the living world, nurtures our creativity, and builds stronger, more resilient communities. Through simple daily practices, you'll discover how creative engagement with nature can heal both inner and outer ecosystems.

About the Challenge

Each day offers a simple 15-30 minute practice that requires minimal materials and can be adapted for different abilities and settings. Whether you're an experienced artist or have never considered yourself creative, these accessible activities will help you build a personal toolkit of practices that deepen your relationship with the natural world.

The challenge is organized into thoughtful progressions:

  • Days 1-3: Explore the foundations of Applied Eco-Arts

  • Days 4-7: Connect with the living tapestry of elements, plants, and animals

  • Days 8-9: Develop ethical foundations through permission and gratitude

  • Days 10-11: Engage in embodied practices through movement and stillness

  • Days 12-15: Experience key applications with community, food, and education

  • Days 16-18: Try creative approaches using different materials and perspectives

  • Days 19-22: Integrate your experiences and create a vision for the future

Why Participate?

In a world facing unprecedented ecological challenges, we need more than scientific solutions—we need new ways of relating to the Earth and each other. Applied Eco-Arts offers practical tools for:

  • Reducing eco-anxiety through meaningful action

  • Building community resilience through shared creative experiences

  • Discovering joy and beauty even in challenging circumstances

  • Developing a personal practice that sustains your connection to nature

  • Contributing to a larger movement of ecological regeneration
