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.

Why this episode
Nine nights that honour the strength in every woman
Navratri means “nine nights”. Across India and the diaspora, families honour the Goddess Durga in her nine forms with prayer, fasting, music and Garba. Our episode falls during Sharad Navratri, the autumn festival that leads to Dussehra.
The Divine Feminine is more than ritual. It is the courage, care and wisdom of the women in our families and communities. Speakers from around the world share stories of inner strength, harmony and positive energy, and how each of us can help build a kinder world. Healing Our Earth has broadcast free every Sunday since April 2020.
Join in this week
Six ways to celebrate Navratri
Simple ways to mark the nine nights at home or in your community, whatever your background.
Light a diya
Light a lamp at dusk and take a quiet moment for prayer, gratitude or reflection. Keep the flame away from curtains and small children.
Evening ritual
Dance Garba together
Join a Garba or Dandiya night near you, or dance at home with family. It is joyful exercise for every age.
Movement and joy
Honour the women in your life
Call your mother, grandmother, sister, teacher or friend and tell them what they mean to you.
Gratitude
Fast with care
If you fast, drink plenty of water and choose fruit, nuts, yoghurt and light meals. If you have diabetes, are pregnant or take regular medicines, check with your doctor first.

Find your inner strength
A few minutes a day of meditation, chanting or slow breathing can steady the mind and lift your mood.
