Event Highlights

The Great Mother March

An Empowerment Pilgrimage for Those Who Believe the Way Forward Is Together. 

  • It’s time for a return to balance. The Monks who are walking from Texas to D.C. & The Great Mother March are an example of “multiple discoveries,” independently inspired and harmonious in intention, to encourage meaningful human connection at a pace that allows us to connect, share, co-create & heal.

  • Over the course of 32 days, we will embark on 500-mile, sacred journey to reweave the connection between people and the planet, arriving in unity on Earth Day 2026 in Washington DC. 

  • BE the change… One step at a time, face to face, heART to heART, we will move through 32 communities in rural NC and VA to embody the archetype of the Great Mother: unconditional love, unity, compassion, creativity and our shared humanity.
