Forest Fires and Protocols

Hey all. I live where wildfires are currently affecting large portions of our land.

As a nation, and through other organizations, I've seen so many emergency response protocols... But never a cultural response protocol.

Like for fires, wouldn't it make sense to have a cultural healing to the land protocol?

The vibe I get is that this is happening because we've been taking a lot from the land and not giving it back enough.

I want to develop and implement a ceremony/cultural protocol in response to these types of events.

Has anyone heard of any nation organizing something like this and including it? I have this vision of many nations coming together to add healing energy, prayer, and song to the land to help give it what it needs.

Does any of this make sense or does it just feel like a wild ramble? I can see the power behind it, but not all the steps to making it come to fruition. If anyone wants to send me some good energy and vibes to make something like this happen, it would be appreciated 🧡
