Happened to see the "Five Vows" again that dropped out of my wallet. The "Five Vows" that each participant took at the end of the 10-day intensive workshop led by Joanna Macy, a highly-respected elder who has dedicated her life to environmental and social activism, community building, systems thinking and deep ecology, Buddhist studies and practices, writing, offering Work That Reconnects workshops, translating and sharing the poems by Rainer Maria Rilke (a Bohemian-Austrian poet and novelist), and beyond.

Five Vows:
I vow to myself and to each of you:

To commit myself daily to the healing of our world and the welfare of all beings.
To live on Earth more lightly and less violently in the food, products, and energy I consume.
To draw strength and guidance from the living Earth, the ancestors, the future beings, and my brothers and sisters of all species.
To support others in their work for the world and to ask for help when I feel the need.
To pursue a daily spiritual practice that clarifies my mind, strengthens my heart, and supports me in observing these vows.
