Happy Diwali, and a joyful New Year
Global Namaste. From everyone at Healing Our Earth, we wish you and your family a very Happy Diwali.
Diwali reminds us that even the smallest diya can push back the darkness. As we light our lamps at home this year, may that light bring peace to our hearts, good health to our families and kindness to our communities.
To everyone welcoming the New Year, Nutan Varsh na Abhinandan. May Vikram Samvat 2083 bring fresh hope and good health. To our Sikh and Jain friends, warm wishes for Bandi Chhor Divas and the Jain New Year.
Thank you for joining us every Sunday. Wherever you are in the world, we are glad to share the light with you.
Shubh Deepavali, and a happy, healthy New Year.
With love, everyone at Healing Our Earth

About the show
What is Healing Our Earth?
Healing Our Earth is a free online show run by volunteers. Since April 2020 it has gone out live every Sunday at 2pm UK time, on YouTube and on this website, and more than 350 episodes are online to watch again.
Each episode brings together doctors, practitioners, teachers, cooks, singers and community voices from the UK, India, East Africa, Mauritius, the USA and other countries. Topics follow the year: wellbeing and mental health, Ayurveda, yoga and meditation, vegetarian cooking, health awareness days, and festivals such as Navratri and Diwali.
Everything is free and needs no registration. The show shares traditions, personal experience and general information; it is not a medical service. Anyone can take part as a speaker, a volunteer or a partner organisation, and viewers can ask questions in the live chat. Past episodes are grouped into 13 series, so you can start with the topic that interests you.
