Letters to the Earth's Outdoor Retreats Engages Partner from Mainstream Corporate, Political and Financial Sectors

Letters to the Earth is an award-winning global participatory and storytelling organization working to transform humanity’s relationship with nature. Through nature-based programs, workshops and creative campaigns, Letters to the Earth inspires and activates change-makers for a more sustainable and regenerative world. 

Specifically this past year Earth Rising supported Letters to the Earth’s efforts to develop nature based programs for mainstream audiences. The focus for this project funding was to target and develop partnerships with those working within the mainstream corporate, political and financial sectors. Often these are not people targeted with climate messaging, yet there is so much to gain from bringing folks in the fields into the climate movement. 

To do this, Letters to the Earth brought together diverse stakeholders, influencers and policymakers for events designed to connect them with each other and nature, build emotional resiliency, shared understanding and capacity for courageous action for a better future for all. Letters to the Earth developed workshops for outdoor settings as a nature-based experience for staff and executives to strengthen their relationship with nature and engage meaningfully with the planetary crisis. 

Over the course of the year, these programs trained two new facilitators, worked with 76 participants through workshops and engaged key decision-makers, Fortune 500 businesses and influencers in Letters to the Earth’s letter writing campaign in which participants are asked to write letters to, from or for the Earth.
