View show details

El Niño returned with a vengeance this month, with some experts warning that it could be the strongest yet. Millions face the threat of fire, floods and drought in the months to come. Join us for an El Niño 101 as we understand what this natural phenomenon is, why it matters, and how human-created global warming are amplifying its effects. We ask why the 2026 event could be especially strong, and how it reshapes weather, ecosystems, and human livelihoods across the globe, with real-world examples of drought, flooding, and food insecurity. As always, we invite you to join us in focusing intentions and prayers. Intentions and prayers start at 17 minutes 9 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as we reflect on the onset of the latest El Niño cycle and its impacts on life, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that governments, aid agencies, local communities, emergency services and water providers will be mindful of the imminent threats presented by the new El Niño cycle, and have wisdom to know where they may take preventive action to minimize its effects. Please join us in holding this.
