Sacred Activism for Mother Earth

In this 2024 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, Cynthia Jurs tells us of her 30-year worldwide trek to join elders, activists, and diverse communities to ceremonially bury Earth Treasure Vases around the planet in service to Gaia. As part of an ancient Tibetan practice, these clay vases are created and empowered to bring healing, stabilization, and immeasurable blessings when they are ceremonially buried in the earth. Cynthia Jurs was given her life assignment by Charok Rinpoche, a 106-year-old lama living in a cave in the Himalayan mountains of Nepal. Little did she know at the time that this would launch her on a 30-year worldwide trek to bury these precious vases in diverse and distressed places on the planet. These vases are said to be activators of Gaia acupuncture meridians and set in motion healing on many levels: socially, physically, and spiritually. For Jurs, this practice is deeply rooted in the feminine, honoring indigenous traditions, and the teachings of an embodied, engaged, sacred activism dedicated to global healing and collective awakening. Jurs describes her journey to a diversity of communities as indigenous peoples, elders, and activists joined her in a commitment to steward and heal Gaia, Mother Earth.
