Earth & Diversity Week 2026
Where Sparks Become Stories, and Currents Become Communities
April 20th – 24th
Join us this Earth & Diversity Week 2026 as we explore the vibrant energies that shape environments and provide power to our relationships. Where sparks become stories and currents become communities, E&D Week invites us to recognize the energy that flows through our homes, jobs, cities, people, and every connection we make. Whether it’s our habits regarding electricity, energy shared with relationships, or integrating concepts to our future and current professions, we can determine: How do we honor the diverse sources of energy that help our ecosystems and maintain our relationships? How might we rethink habits we’ve learned about energy? How might we rethink the narratives we’ve learned about nature, ideas of identity so that they resonate with the world we hope to energize together? Earth & Diversity Week 2026 is an invitation to tune into the currents around us and within us, to notice how our use of energy connects ourselves with the planet and our communities, and imagine how we can be fueled by resilience and collective power.
