Abstract

The Earth Path, as I define it, is a way of life that integrates spiritual practice with ecological ethics. It is the living embodiment of the spiritual common core found in Nature Religions, guiding individuals to align their beliefs and practices with the rhythms and cycles of the Earth. To walk the Earth Path is to recognize the sacredness of nature and to act in ways that honor, protect, and sustain the natural world. The Earth Path is thus central to how Nature Religions guide us in connecting with the natural world, addressing the ecological crisis, and fostering a spiritual life that is grounded in nature.
