EXECUTIVE PRODUCER CHRISTINE MARIE WITH FISCAL SPONSOR WE, THE WORLD
In honor of the 55th Anniversary of Earth Day, we are honored to present the 17th Annual World Peace Earth Day Celebration “Awakening Humanity’s Consciousness for a Better Planet” on Mother Earth Day – Tuesday, April 22nd, from 5:30–9:30 PM EST with a Climate Conversation Pre-Show with Sue Blythe and youth leaders, from 4:45–5:30 PM EST.
This year, we gather in a newly inspired sacred format—honoring the First Peoples and Indigenous wisdom traditions—the original stewards of Mother Earth. Together, we will hold space for peace, healing, and awakening through ceremony, music, storytelling, and collective prayer.
We are deeply honored to welcome our Keynote Speaker, Grandmother Shirley Barclay, along with her sacred inner circle of Indigenous Sun Dancers and Visionaries, joining from the heart of nature—beside a beloved tree, where the wind whispers, birds sing, dogs walk and the Earth speaks with every sound.
Guiding our journey is Christine Marie—MC/Host, Executive Producer, and Creative Director of this year’s celebration. She has also reimagined the Planet Heart brand and logo with new life and vision. Christine will share her directorial debut of the powerful trailer: POP (Portal of Peace) Nation: The Making of a Peace Activation-RULERS OF THE NEW EARTH , recently featured at the 13th Annual Nyack Film Festival 2025 at the Hotel Nyack on March 31, 2025.
We are also blessed by the presence of special guest spiritual leaders and visionaries: Alan Steinfeld, Priestess El, Becky Suzik, and special appearances by Susana Bastarrica (Founder of the Vigil for Peace and Ecology) and the beloved Chief Phil Lane Jr., a global voice for Indigenous Unity and Earth Wisdom.
Together, we will call forth a Prayer for Peace, Planet, and People, honoring our sacred relationship with Earth and with each other.
Join us for this sacred celebration—a convergence of elders, youth, artists, and Earth lovers awakening to the song of a New Earth.
Let us walk gently together upon the Earth and raise our collective prayers for peace, oneness and transformation.
Every Day is Earth Day! May Peace Prevail on Earth! We Are One!

Out of this year's ceremonial co-creation, produced in part by Lakshmi, it has become clear that all future distribution must flow through a Lakshmi Collective collaborative effort. As Pop Nation evolves into a full Pop Nation Series, any streaming media involving Lakshmi Collective members transitioning into this movement will be aligned under that umbrella.

“Every day is Earth Day where Peace Within Brings Peace on Earth ” - ReAwakennd (Andrew Kaen)
We hear Mother Earth’s call to simultaneously become more heart centered and action oriented. Feeling Mother Earth’s sacredness in our hearts can be profound motivation to act on Her behalf. Many actions are needed now, from calling legislators to attending rallies … art making, creative planning, spreading the word, writing letters to the editor ... advocating for clean water, renewable energy … as well as social, racial, and economic justice issues that are inseparable from co-creating a sustainable, thriving world that works for all. We believe these actions are most effective, and most beautiful, when they are inspired by and carried out with love and respect for this beautiful planet, all who reside here, and whatever divine energies are loving us and encouraging us through this Great Turning. This feeling of connection, love, and inspiration is what we seek to create through Planet Heart’s Annual World Peace Earth Day. Please join us, be inspired, keep your heart open, and channel that love into action.
Planet Heart is a project of We, the World, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization (http://we.net/).
