Mother Earth is Calling.

The Terra Nova team actively supports people to take action for the earth – connecting to nature, connecting to themselves and living and working in synchronicity with the rhythms of our world. Read our ‘Take Action’ boxes below to get your journey started or come and be part of the following initiatives:

School for Changemakers : the training ground for global changemakers
The School for Changemakers is the place for people who feel the pull to make a meaningful difference in the world – and want the skills, clarity, and community to actually do it. A 6 monthly course for people 18yrs+ based in Ōtautahi Christchurch, led by international experts with online & in person tuition, and a transformative Changemaker Practicum, where students get supported to turn their idea into impactful reality.

A Book of Action – One Year, One You, One Planet
CEO Rose Challies and Terra Nova writer Susan Wills have teamed up to bring you a book full of easy-to-take, high impact actions for Earth and our own wellbeing.  The book has 365 actions for change that you can do as an individual or with family, friends and colleagues.

Earth Talks
Catch the podcast of Earthly greatness – interviews with top experts around the globe talking about the interventions they have carried out that make a real impact (no overplaying, overclaiming or greenwashing here!), and asking the question… what would earth say if it had a human voice in the matter.

Te Ao Earth Week
The week of action!  Celebrating, connecting and taking action for earth.  We join with hundreds of people and organisations to bring opportunities to be part of a way forward that nurtures both earth and us.  Events during the week include exhibitions, live expert sessions, a major conference for changemakers, enterprise hacks, living and working workshops (e.g. crafts, time-management, eco-consumer, transport, digital/AI), ocean swims and clean-ups and much much more.  Join the fun in-person in Ōtautahi Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand or online.

*The book has been published by Terra Nova Press and can be purchased online here: One Year, One You, One Planet

**’Te Ao’ in the NZ language Māori, in this context means the world.

Earth+ Online Course

We are currently developing an online course for organisations globally to work through at your own pace and achieve substantially increased resilience and organisational wellbeing, ensure Earth alignment, and to thrive in regenerative markets. A very practical & easily applied course built on decades of inspired action and expertise in this space.

If you would like to be part or be a participant in the beta course please contact us at [email protected]

Earth+ Mark of Excellence
The Earth+ Mark of Excellence is achieved by indepth, in person assessments of participating organisations.  This Mark sets the bar for good practice and recognising excellence, and includes an independent onsite review of your organisation. Think Michelin Guide reviewers but for Earth nurturing organisations.  All organisational structures can be recognised including, for profit, not for profit and co-ops. The key areas for review are:

• How well products/services address needs of people & planet.
• How significant consumption has been reduced.
• What contributions have been made to earth and people nurturing ideas and projects.

If you know an organisation that is on the journey to or is achieving high levels of practice please contact us .

The first online Guide to Earth+ Organisations with a Mark of Excellence are published annually at the Earth+ Awards Ceremony.
