earth is our mother
Bhakti (भक्ति) means devotion and reverence.
Earth Bhakti honors the Earth through art, song, and shared gatherings.
Welcome to Earth Bhakti Where We Connect With Reverence to the Being of our Planet through Art and Sound.
Earth Bhakti is an art-based devotional practice by artist Anja in Northern New Mexico. Through land art and gatherings such as Sun and Moon Circles, it creates spaces for direct encounter with the living Earth—grounded in attention, presence, and care.
About the Land Art
OPEN AIR, SUN-SWEPT EARTH ALTARS
Earth Bhakti creates site-specific land altars and shrines using natural materials — clay, mud, straw, stone, wood, and water. These installations are shaped through direct relationship with land, sound, and lived experience, and are designed to return to the earth over time. Each work acknowledges traditional custodians and honors elders and community through respect and consent.
“All action is prayer. All trees are desire-fulfilling. All water is the Ganga. All land is Varanasi. Love everything.”
