GRATITUDE FOR EARTH DAY
Join us for our annual Earth Day celeration, which we record for The Sustainable Hour on Monday 14 April 2025 at the Rotunda near the playground, not far from the Botanical Gardens, in Geelong’s Eastern Park. We meet at 10:45am for the 11:00am recording start.
Guest speakers at our Earth Day celebration
We’re honoured to be joined by two thoughtful and deeply grounded voices from the Geelong region:
Margie Abbott is an educator, spiritual director, and author whose work bridges ecology, spirituality, and social justice. A Sister of Mercy, Margie has written several books, including Cosmic Sparks and Reflective Walks, which guide people to connect more deeply with Earth and the sacred. Her workshops and retreats draw from the Universe Story, Laudato Si’, and eco-theology, helping individuals and communities cultivate ecological awareness and care.
Peter Martin is a retired Anglican priest who served the community of Point Lonsdale and Queenscliff for many years. With a strong interest in interfaith dialogue, peace-building, and environmental stewardship, Peter continues to inspire others through his reflective presence and compassionate action. His ongoing commitment to the wellbeing of people and planet makes him a fitting voice for Earth Day.
Margie Abbott and Peter Martin will assist us in raising the flag for and paying tribute to the Earth.
