Earth Prayers Newsletter - February 2026

Dear people! We are very grateful for your time and your interest! A lot is happening in the world right now that can throw us off centre. At Earth Prayers, we still keep our focus: on connection, mutual support, and on faith in – and the living-out of – heart-centred visions!

Our treasurer has just sent out the project supports for January! Every single project was deeply touched by our strong support: each project received over €1,200 this month! This is because the Rauhnacht Gathering organised by Stefan Schwager and www.beyond-words.at donated an extra ~€600 per project. That’s why every initiative received more than €1,200 instead of €600.

Heartfelt thanks to everyone who donated voluntarily at the Rauhnacht Gathering – and, as always, a huge thank-you to all of us who give monthly to the Earth Prayers projects!

This month our journey takes us from Kenya via Venezuela to Chile (Patagonia) and back to Kenya! Thank you for sowing seeds of consciousness and connection together with us all over the world! … with your heart wishes for the projects and/or your monthly financial donation! None of this would be possible without you!

Last month we had 171 contributors! 🌞

2–8 Feb 2026 ~ Free Seeds ~ Seeds of Love ~ Building a school in Samburu ~ Kenya ❤️

We have supported Peninah Lesorogol and her work in her home village and among her people many times before. Most recently we were able to pay some of the school fees for the children in the village.

At Earth Prayers “free seeds” usually refers to agriculture, but we see it in the bigger picture – which is why supporting children also belongs in this area of life for us.

Peninah has now founded the association “Seeds of Love” in Graz and wants to build a school in Samburu, Kenya. If the association manages to raise the necessary funds, construction should begin in July 2026.

She will soon launch a large crowdfunding campaign for the project in Graz. You can find more information and stay up to date here: https://seeds-of-love.at/

We wholeheartedly support this initiative by the wonderful Peninah Lesorogol.

9–15 Feb 2026 ~ Sustainable Agriculture ~ Guardians of Nature ~ Roof Repair ~ Venezuela ❤️

Gualtiero and Natalia are guardians of a 2-hectare forest in the Venezuelan Andes. Gualtiero has already lived there for 40 years. The couple lives in harmony with nature. They practise traditional, ancestral Andean agriculture (“Conuco”) and, among other things, produce essential oils.

Protecting two hectares of pristine forest amid surrounding farmland has not been easy. Yet it is so important to Gualtiero and Natalia that they have succeeded. Some neighbouring farmers would have preferred to turn it into cow pasture.

The house has suffered serious roof damage. This is a major problem – especially because rain in this region can be very heavy and persistent. If the roof cannot be repaired, the entire house will eventually be lost to the rain.

Given Venezuela’s economic situation, the couple has managed to survive for years, but they cannot afford to fix the roof damage. Around €1,200 is needed to make the roof watertight again and thus sustainably enable the work of these two wonderful people.

We support this concern from the heart! Here is a video message from Gualtiero: Video – Gualtiero

16–22 Feb 2026 ~ Nature & Culture ~ Wilderness Project Patagonia ~ Weite Welt Wildnis ~ Chile ❤️

For the first time we want to support a project initiated by world-walker Gregor Sieböck . Gregor loves nature and – together with the association “W3 Weite Welt Wildnis” – will realise an extraordinary conservation project on 1,140 hectares of primeval forest in Patagonia, Chile!

His vision is to protect this natural space and at the same time make it available to people for deep experiences of being. It is meant to remain – and become – a place of profound touching and pure nature experience: medicine for humans, balm for Mother Earth.

Let the association speak for itself:

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,With great joy we would like to introduce you to an extraordinary nature conservation project we are realising in Patagonia. In a first step, we acquired a 1,140-hectare primeval forest area in Chilean Patagonia in 2021. Access from the nearest place, Lago Verde, is on foot or by horse and takes about three days. This unique landscape – characterised by original forests, wild rivers and an impressive mountain panorama – will be protected long-term through our project.

To fulfil this task responsibly, we purchased a 1-hectare lakeside property with a log house under construction directly next to Lago Verde in January 2022. In the next development step we plan to complete this ranger house, which will serve as the base for area management. This ranger house is a central building block to permanently preserve the area and ensure a professional, continuous presence on site.

In August 2024 the buyers transferred the entire primeval forest area into a Chilean foundation, thereby guaranteeing the greatest possible protection. The foundation statutes state that the place belongs to itself. The sole owner is now the Earth. The committed foundation team organises the preservation of the place.

For implementation we need €150,000. Your donation enables: • the construction of ranger stations for sustainable protection and monitoring • the provision of spaces for visitors • the establishment of a long-term model for community-oriented wilderness developmentIn Austria we founded an association named “W3 Weite Welt Wildnis” in 2021. The responsible persons and members work 100% voluntarily. The association handles public relations and financial support.

We are happy to answer questions or provide further information. You can reach us at office@3xw.global or via our website: www.3xw.globalWe would be very pleased to welcome you as a partner in this important endeavour.Best regards The Team of W3 Weite Welt Wildnis

We wholeheartedly support this beautiful vision!

By the way: the next W3 Weite Welt Wildnis association meeting takes place on 9 April from 11:00 in Linz. (Info & registration via office@3xw.global)

23 Feb – 1 Mar 2026 ~ The Empowered Woman ~ Kitchen Gardens for Women ~ Marmar Honey ~ Samburu, Kenya ❤️

Zainav would like to give several women the chance to expand and improve their small gardens through this initiative. The plan includes purchasing water tanks, building protective fences against animals, acquiring shade nets against the heat, providing seeds, and training the women in organic, sustainable agriculture!

We already know Zainav as a co-founder of the Lmartin People Association, which we have supported several times in supplying children in remote schools near Suguta Marmar with uniforms, school materials and sports equipment.

Background of the project Marmar Honey is a women-led community initiative that runs ongoing kitchen-garden projects and sustainable beekeeping practices to improve food security, nutrition and the economic empowerment of women and youth in marginalised areas of Suguta Marmar. The gardens are managed by women’s groups and households already practising chemical-free agriculture and growing traditional, nutritious vegetables adapted to local conditions.

Although the initiative is active, its impact is limited by extreme weather, water scarcity, wildlife and security issues that reduce productivity and make continuous participation difficult. This proposal seeks support to strengthen and protect the existing gardens so the women can fully benefit from their efforts.

The project is about food sovereignty and healthy nutrition. Women should grow chemical-free vegetables and thus contribute to healthy household nutrition. At the same time, if there are surpluses to sell, they can earn money and benefit financially for themselves and their families.

We wholeheartedly support this wonderful initiative!

We wish you a February full of trust and far-sightedness!

Heartfelt thanks for our shared work here on Earth!

Philipp Sudi from the Earth Prayers Team
