COURSE

Answering The Cry Of The Earth

With Tony Brady

In this series of meditations and reflections, we will take a look at many different ways in which we can each play our part in coming to the rescue of planet Earth in its time of greatest need. The climate crisis is a defining moment. It could come to be remembered as the greatest gift we have ever been given, forcing us to cooperate together as never before.


Meet your Teacher

Tony Brady and his wife Fran have been actively working on environmental and sustainability issues for decades. More than 25 years ago their efforts to reduce reuse and recycle came to the notice of the Irish Television evening news where their home was introduced as as a place where there was little or nothing left out for the weekly bin collection. Today the effort continues with increased urgency as the world experiences the long-predicted effects of global warming.

This was insightful and helpful. I only wish everyone, including those in power here in the US, would listen, understand, and take action. We are running out of time and moving backwards on this critical issue. I am afraid of the world my daughter will inherit.

What a gift Tony and his course are to the planet and to all of us! I am moved and inspired after beginning the course heartbroken and overwhelmed about the state of the earth. Tony so gracefully provides actionable solutions and grounding breathing meditations while shining light on the situation we find ourselves in. I cannot recommend enough.

A great course. Each day was a reminder, sometimes of what I already know and sometimes Tony raised my awareness of something I don't think much about. I am inspired and will be more mindful in how I tread daily on this wonderful planet of ours to cause no harm and be more active in encouraging others to do the same. Thank you for your wisdom and the time you take to respond to our comments and questions 😊💚🌻🙏🏿.

This was such an amazing course Tony thank you so much for offering it. You have really motivated me to take a much more active role in the community. I live in as well as just in the world as a whole. I feel like I do small things but it doesn’t have the impact that I could on saving this earth not just for us, but for all the future generations. So appreciate you and your positivity and insights. Have an amazing weekend Namaste 🙏
