Transforming Land Transforming People

Aim

To enhance biodiversity, human diversity and well-being, using a dedicated area in our council's 4-acre site. (Leased to us for 25 years).

At Earth Moves we believe in empowering communities to work together to improve each other's lives and the local environment. We are currently creating permaculture gardens and community spaces in Wallasey.

We have made massive changes on our 4-acre site but it is still a work in progress. We need funds to develop a further part of the site to plant trees, wildflowers and food plants. Also for educational workshops in permaculture, tree planting and food growing.

Many people involved in the planning management and application of projects have neurodiversity and are marginalised in other ways.

Currently, the doomsday clock is at 90 seconds to 12, the nearest we have ever been to annihilation. We all need to be the change. We at Earth Moves have made practical and real changes to the environment where we live, as well as helping people to self-reflect and manage mental health. Our behaviour fractals out into the world so being kind, respectful and understanding the importance of nature can be transformative to the individual community and the world.

 Earth Moves was created in 2017 by a group of like-minded friends who enjoyed the therapeutic effects of gardening, positive psychology, and community arts. These people commit to diversity, inclusion, community, and the environment. We welcome all people to our environmental volunteer programs and give opportunities for some to volunteer with us. We are involved in looking at the problematic issues of environmental destruction and the declining mental health of the population. We believe in inclusivity,  learning from each other, and mutual aid. The techniques we use form bridges and help towards enhanced health and mental well-being. Safe and healing spaces are essential for mental and physical health. We give people opportunities to receive respect and be heard. At Earth Moves, we give influence to holistic and self-empowered ways of engagement, healing, conflict resolution, personal transformation, and environmental issues. The practice of the arts, meditation, and immersion in the natural world unlocks creativity, creates feelings of relaxation, and enhances understanding of the self and others. Involvement in a community is also significant to human mental well-being. 

 We host community meals and uplifting events to give people the opportunity for connection and socializing. Escalating poor mental health and environmental and economic threats can be addressed to some extent by imagination, connection with nature, collaborative work practice, self-reflection, and creativity. Positive collective and individual change is crucial for our personal, community, and global survival.
