I’m writing this from New York City’s Times Square, where I’m preparing to host and perform at the world’s biggest Earth Day Event on 22 April 2025.
The event is put on by Paul Sladkus from Good News Corporation, in partnership with OMMM, EARTHDAY.ORG and many others.
Paul runs two events in Times Square each year; one on Earth Day and the other on the UN International Day of Peace (21 September).
What’s important for me in doing this show is the impact an event like this can have on consciousness.
This event will be in the middle of Times Square – perhaps the modern religious epicentre of the things we worship and aspire to today, and also one of the most expensive areas on the planet when it comes to real estate.
There are two problems here: the first is that consumerism has become our source of spiritual satisfaction and the second is that this land is pimped like a flying unicorn in a circus.
We are in a mess. The lifestyles we have constructed serve a few and abuse the many; we’ve created a world in which it’s OK for the richest to control society in a way that ensures they will always acquire more.
What if we could create an event with conscious intention, that would gather and galvanise some of the greatest wisdom keepers of our time?
What if they all showed up with messages delivered with a frequency and vibration that could shift, change and transmute consciousness?
The last event we did in Times Square, for the International Day of Peace 2024, did exactly that.
Through the intention of its organisers and partners (shout out to Paul, Michelle and Maria at OMMM and everyone else involved), moments of peace were injected into this place of sensory overload.
OMMMbassador AY Young, a UN Youth Ambassador and artist for change, reached eight billion people with his message: we can make a difference if we make the conscious choice to commit to positive change.
AY Young has now performed over 950 100% renewable energy concerts – a monumental achievement that means his record-breaking ‘Road to 1,000’ tour is now in its last leg.
During the Peace Day event, sublime spiritual master Sister Jenna managed to create stillness in this fast-paced environment – just like Neo in The Matrix.
Person after person approached me after the event to express gratitude for this moment of bliss, and to share why they had needed it on that day of all days.
We touched people and helped to shift consciousness on a level we may never understand – and quite frankly, do we need to?
We humans (yes, you and me) are more powerful than we could ever imagine.
We have allowed ourselves to be controlled and manipulated into a way of life that doesn’t serve us, our planet or our future generations.
The first step we can all take is to love our mother – to give thanks and praise for everything Mother Earth has done for us, and take time each day to say thank you for the air we breathe, the food we eat and the lives we live.
Without her nothing would exist – including you and me.
Breathe in with intention, gather up and infuse your gratitude and then breathe that appreciation outwards to everything beyond your immediate self, in all directions, as a simple and hugely effective way of saying thank you.
As I sit here and ask the gods to support us in being messengers for change this Earth Day and beyond, they respond with a deep rumbling of thunder, a sign I know they are listening and supporting us.
How else could Mother Earth respond? This is her voice.
Tune in and join our Love Your Mother event at 11.30-14.30 ET, 16.30-19.30 BST, 22 April 2025, at wedonthavetime.org/play
