To Join In
If you would like to participate in the 2025 event as a community partner, supporting faith organization, or volunteer on the day of the event, please send us a message!
Planning for our third annual InterFaith EarthFest is already underway. This year’s event is Sunday, May 4th, from 1:00 to 4:00 at Saint Timothy’s Episcopal Church in Danville. Live music, activities, speakers, booths, and rituals will spotlight local eco-success stories, enable us to draw hope from one another, and inspire local commitment to action!
This year’s focus receives inspiration from Creation itself and explores the essential practices of interconnectedness, reciprocity, and relationships which are the foundation of flourishing of a eco-system and regeneration. Across the wisdom and faith traditions of the world, humanity acknowledges our very existence occurs within a web of relationship. By offering this event, we are inviting people, our congregations, and our collective action in the San Ramon Valley to align with our shared values. Recognizing those who have gone before and our responsibility to those who will come after, we offer EarthFest to spur meaningful action now. See Hope–Seed Change!
Looking Back at 2024
Interfaith EarthFest on April 21, 2024 was a successful demonstration of our shared commitment to our environment and a celebration of appreciation for our planet. As author Robin Wall Kimmerer wrote in her best-selling book Braiding Sweetgrass,
“One of our responsibilities as human people is to find ways to enter into reciprocity with the more-than-human world. We can do it through gratitude, through ceremony, through land stewardship, science, art and in everyday acts of practical reverence.”
The I-SRV EarthFest organizers would like to add our belief that we enhance our relationship with the more-than-human world through recognizing and celebrating community, in the largest sense of the word. We are so grateful for the participation of our many partners, who provided learning opportunities with information tables, stories of hope, workshops, inspiring performances of dance and song, and earth-inspired art. Many of our partners are excited to join us for our next EarthFest event, May 4, 2025. View our slideshow of event highlights.
We welcomed 400-500 people during the afternoon. The EarthFest event would not exist without the participation of our partners and our communities.
