GLOBAL EARTH EXCHANGE
June 15, 2024
Worldwide!
Every year since 2010 people around the world have been going to places they care about that are damaged or endangered, sharing stories about the places, and making gifts of gratitude, sorrow, and love for them.
This year on June 15, we continue this beloved tradition
of the Global Earth Exchange!
Gather your friends, your family, your colleagues—and make a pilgrimage to a place you love that’s under threat. As thousands of people have discovered over the years, when you seek out a wounded place and find and make beauty there, you:
-
- reconnect with the life of the place, despite what’s happened to it
- form new bonds with others in your community who also care
- remind the Earth how beautiful it is
- discover that, even in hard times, you can make a difference
- experience the joy of giving back to a place that has given so much to you
YOUR 2024 RADJOY FLAG
If you’re one of the first 75 people to sign up to visit a place near you, you’ll receive a hand-made Radical Joy for Hard Times flag, made of natural dyes by Social Fabric artist Sarah Pimenta.
JOIN A WEBINAR AND FIND OUT HOW TO HOST YOUR OWN GLOBAL EARTH EXCHANGE
We’re offering two webinars on May 4—at two different times, to make it convenient for any of our worldwide members to attend. You’ll explore questions like:
-
- How do I find my wounded place?
- How do I describe the Global Earth Exchange to my friends?
- What do we do once we get there?
- What’s the best way to make a “gift” for a place?

This is our 15th annual Global Earth Exchange —
so let’s join together and show the world
that all places are beautiful and valued
even when they’ve fallen on hard times!
