🌍 VEGAN & VEGETARIAN KITCHEN
🌿 Nourish Your Body · Nourish Our Planet
🤝 A FREE Global Online Session
📅 Sunday 13th September 2026 | 🕑 2:00pm BST onwards (British Summer Time)

Global Namaste. Most people who want to eat more plants do not stop for lack of willpower. They stop because it is six o'clock, the fridge has an aubergine and half a bag of spinach in it, and nobody showed them what to do next.

That is the gap this session fills. Cooks from across our global community share what they actually make at home: seasonal British produce, South Indian classics, East African fusion, Ayurvedic autumn dishes and high-protein plant-based meals for a weeknight. Every recipe is demonstrated live, ingredients on screen, questions answered in the chat.

We have run this kitchen since August 2020. September brings the British harvest at its peak and sits three weeks before World Vegetarian Day, so this edition leans into seasonal cooking, protein without meat, and using what you already have.

🔥 AGNIHOTRA · HEALING EARTH: BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT
🌍 A FREE Global Online Episode
📅 Sunday 23rd August 2026 | 🕑 2pm BST onwards (British Summer Time)

Global Namaste. At the exact moment of sunrise and sunset, in homes across every continent, people light a small fire in a copper pyramid, offer a pinch of rice and ghee, and speak two short mantras. The fire lasts a few minutes. The practice is around three thousand years old. And a growing number of researchers have started asking what actually happens in the air around it.

This episode brings Agnihotra to anyone curious about it. What it is, where it comes from, how it is done, what the research says, and what people report in their own bodies and homes after practising it daily.

Whether you have practised for years or you have never heard the word before, you are welcome here. Nothing is required and nothing is being sold.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🗓️ SPEAKERS & RUNNING ORDER:
Full line-up being announced. Check the event page for live updates.
👉 https://healingourearth.com/agnihotra-aug-2026
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🌿 WHAT WE WILL COVER:
✅ What Agnihotra actually is, in plain language, no Sanskrit required
✅ The exact procedure: copper pyramid, dried cow dung, ghee, unpolished rice
✅ Why the timing is tied to sunrise and sunset to the minute
✅ The two mantras, and what they mean
✅ What the research has measured, and what it has not
✅ Agnihotra ash: how practitioners use it in soil, water and gardens
✅ How to begin at home this week, and where to get what you need
✅ Live questions from the chat, answered on air

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔬 WHAT THE RESEARCH HAS LOOKED AT

🧪 Studies at Vikram University and North Maharashtra University measured sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter before and after Agnihotra, and reported reductions in the hours following the fire
🦠 Work reported from Warsaw University and Fergusson College, Pune examined airborne bacterial counts in rooms after Agnihotra
🌱 Homa Farming research has studied Agnihotra ash and its effect on phosphorus solubility in soil
📊 This is an active and contested area. Sample sizes are often small and replication is limited, and we will say so plainly on air rather than overclaim

🙏 A NOTE ON APPROACH
Agnihotra sits where tradition and science meet, and people arrive from both directions. Some come through Vedic practice, some through curiosity about the environment, some through their own health. Every one of those routes is welcome here, including scepticism. We share what practitioners experience and what researchers have measured, and we let you make up your own mind.
