In honor of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, let us find guidance and groundedness by connecting with the natural world and our own humanity. Together with our partners and special guests, we are offering these opportunities to our community to do just that. We hope you’ll join us.

As we reflect on the meaning of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day we can’t help but think about all of the individuals who have dedicated their time, resources, and lives to protect and heal our beautiful planet. Members of environmental non-profits are the heart of the organizations driving this movement. Kiss the Ground’s members are no exception. Their donations collectively allow us to fulfill our mission of inspiring participation in soil regeneration.
Starting now, you can become a member for giving as little as $1 per month. We want everyone who is inspired to join this community and support our work the opportunity to do so. For those who can give more, we graciously ask you to consider making a $10, $25, or $50 monthly donation.
New and existing members will get free access to the Soil is the Climate Solution course taught by KTG’s Finian Makepeace and created in partnership with our friends from Commune.
About the Course: We have to REGENERATE our land back to health. Regenerative Agriculture, which blends modern discoveries in soil biology with indigenous wisdom, is one of the biggest solutions of our time. This course will teach you how to be a knowledgeable, inspiring advocate for this powerful solution.
*Become a member by April 26, 2020 to receive the free course with your membership.

DJ Cavem Instagram Takeover – Earth Dance Party
When DJ Cavem coined the term eco-hip hop in 2007, he didn’t know it would sprout into a global movement. His mission to rap about climate change, food justice and plant-based foods spread far beyond his Denver hometown. Having performed at the Obama White House and been featured in Oprah Magazine and on the Rachael Ray Show, Dr. Ietef “DJ Cavem” Vita became known as more than just a rapper — but an activist, educator and vegan chef. Now, several years after the release of The Produce Section, his award-winning album that fused hip hop with lessons on eco-friendliness, Cavem has shifted his focus to new material. His latest project BIOMIMICZ is being released as an album/seed pack to get people involved and spur listeners into action.
