Ubuntu: A Global Day of Silent Reflection

Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate.


Tired of the Noise? Ready for a Reboot?
Imagine a world where the constant chatter of notifications, the relentless pursuit of material gain, and the endless cycle of news and drama take a backseat. A world where humanity pauses, breathes, and reconnects with its inner self.


As your benevolent world leader, I decree a global holiday of silent meditation. A day where we collectively unplug from the chaos of the outside world and tune into the serene depths of our own minds.


A Day for Humanity; this isn’t a religious holiday, nor is it a new age fad. It’s a simple, yet profound, act of self-care for the entire planet. A day to:
Meditate: Whether it’s silent contemplation, prayer, or simply clearing your mind, this is your time. Connect: Feel the energy of human connection, even in silence. A simple smile can convey volumes.Reset: Press the “refresh” button on your mind, body, and soul.

Ubunthu holiday for reflection and connection

A Global Ubuntu – Inspired by the African philosophy of Ubuntu, “I am because we are,” this global holiday celebrates our interconnectedness. By acknowledging the sacred spirit within each other, we foster empathy, compassion, and understanding.

So, let’s embark on this journey together. Let’s create a world where peace, love, and understanding reign supreme. A world where we’re not just individuals, but a harmonious collective.

Calendar of the soul – 26

“Nature, your maternal existence,
I carry it in my will’s being;
and my will’s fire might,
It steels my spirit’s drives,
So that they birth Self-feeling
to carry my Self in me.”

– Calendar of the Soul verse 26 – Rudolf Steiner.

We often refer to the world or nature in the female aspect the universal mother figure that nurtures us and that provides for us the sustenance we need to live life. This verse brings that existence of the creative, the nurturing, the sustaining in association with will. Will is the source of creation within us, the motherly impulse that nurtures and sustains us as we move through life. We can claim that we live because we will to live. And we live life fully when we claim to live life fully.

Everything begins and ends with what we will within ourselves for what we will, will impact on our consciousness and experience of the world. Will is our essential being and reason for existence and it has the potential to become the driving force that directs our lives irrespective of circumstances, challenges and obstacles in our way. Will is a fire that purifies the mind from its gross elements and that brings forward purity of thought, concentrated in a particular pattern. When we begin to get in touch with our own inner will and its creative possibilities we are beginning to feel our true self, our true individualistic nature. A perception of self that is uncontaminated and real. We feel within ourselves the essence of ourselves.
