In preparation for the Global Glacier Sound Meditation that I am offering in celebration of the 1st World Day of Glaciers in collaboration with Cumbres Blancas, I had an inspirational conversation with Marcela Fernández, the founder of this movement that is inspiring people around the world, one country at a time, to join forces to take action for glaciers and their ecosystems from multidisciplinary angles.
From our conversation sprouts a mutual understanding of glaciers as living beings with capacity to communicate to us, humans.
Glaciers speak to all of us through metaphor - ‘glaciers melting want us to understand that we need to melt frozen emotions’ - and through unconditional love - ‘glaciers are melting so we can wake up’.
And then I wonder, once more, who is ready to listen? When did we lose the connection with the sacred ice that is the source of water that is vital to life?
Both Marcela and I know that now is time for action, time to build connections and make kin with glaciers.
We are one of the last generations that has the opportunity to rebuild the bridge to the heart of glaciers.
It is time for legacy, time to get to know the glaciers, honour them for what they are and create something together with them that passes on their memory to the future generations.
As a starting point, we ask you: Do you know if your country has glaciers?
On the 22nd of March, you will be able to connect with a glacier through listening to glaciers' vibration and sound. We are looking forward to welcome you to the Global Glacier Sound Meditation on the 22nd of March, in celebration of the 1st World Day of Glaciers.
