Ubuntu - Let Love Rule Peace Tree

🌍 Global Ubuntu Day | Let Love Rule Peace Tree Festival
August 8, 2025 | Amsterdam + Worldwide
“Let Love Rule – Plant a Tree for Peace”

From Africa to Mexico to Amsterdam, Ubuntu International and global partners invite you to join a sacred worldwide movement for peace, unity, and planetary healing. On August 8, 2025, we launch Global Ubuntu Day with the Let Love Rule Peace Tree Festival — a call to action to plant trees and sow the seeds of love across the Earth.

Rooted in Ubuntu’s permaculture work in Africa and guided by spiritual alliances with Divine Mother’s Love, Four Worlds International, and Indigenous elders, this movement honors the prophecy of the 8th Fire — a sacred covenant to protect Mother Earth and restore our deep connection to one another.

This rising flame of unity has grown through sacred ceremonies and collaborative action — from Mexico, where the 8th Fire was lit in partnership with Indigenous leaders, to Lake Elsinore’s Ubuntu film screening and planting event, to the planting of a Peace Tree in Hidalgo with CONADEPOA, and now to Amsterdam, where a Sequoia tree — a symbol of longevity and resilience — will be planted to anchor the global vision of peace.

🕊️ A Gift of Peace from the Charter for Compassion
As part of the celebration, the Charter for Compassion presents a Peace Pole — a powerful symbol of unity and global solidarity. Handcrafted at the Allanton Peace Sanctuary in Scotland, the pole will stand beside the Sequoia tree bearing the message “May Peace Prevail on Earth” in eight languages. Like the Sequoia, this message transcends time, rooted in hope and growing toward a shared future.

Peace Poles have been planted in over 250,000 locations across the globe — now, one takes root in Amsterdam to honor the Let Love Rule vision and the values of Ubuntu.

🌟 Why It Matters
“When we plant a tree together, we plant the future.
We restore the Earth. We heal each other.
We let love rule.”
This is more than a festival — it's a spiritual awakening, a global communion, and a collective act of love. Together, we are planting trees — and planting peace.

All are welcome. All are called.
Let us rise in love — and Let Love Rule.
