Spiritual Grounding

Check out some GreenFaith Movement Songs!

GreenFaith has developed a digital songbook for our community to use during community meetings and public actions, to help us ground in spirit and bring our values into the public sphere in powerful ways.

GreenFaith Indonesia made a phenomenal music video remix of two GreenFaith songs, involving singer PiePiey and a children’s choir – check it out!
