SDG Meditate
A Podcast Series of meditations exploring the 17 Sustainable Development Goals
Where to start? How can I help? What’s my passion? What cause do I champion?
Or maybe it’s all too much, what are the goals? Why are we pursuing them? Are they even possible?
These questions can leave us thinking that maybe we are just one person and how much of an impact can I have on my community, never mind the global community.
Or perhaps you have been dedicating as much time as possible to engaging in as many acts as possible to champion as many things as possible and are hoping to help achieve as many of the sustainable goals as possible and now, you are just a little tired and are looking for a reminder about what got you motivated in the first place and need a little time to re-energise and re-ignite that passion you have for being part of the world which strives for the SDG’s to be met.
We have developed a meditation podcast series which will give you the chance to not only take time to re-energise but to allow you to consider each of the sustainable development goals both as an individual and as part of the collective.
This is a no pressure podcast.
It’s aim is to bring the goals into your life in a gentle way which is also beneficial for your health and happiness!
Let’s make the sustainable development goals happen through a societal change in our mindset towards the challenges which face our world. When we stop to consider and be conscious of the world around us, who knows what the impact will be!

SDG Meditate Introduction
Welcome to SDG Meditate, a podcast series of meditations exploring the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. For each goal we have two meditations, one introspective meditation reflecting on your individual relationship with the goal, and one considering how our world could look through collective action.
SDG 3 Good Health & Wellbeing Collective

And where our framework of society allows us to support those who are sick. A collective reimagining of culture and support systems so that good health is the default.

SDG 2 Zero Hunger Individual
End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.
This meditation focuses you, your body and where your drive for change or hunger comes from. Hunger is a primal feeling and is linked with our desires and it is what drives us toward success. In truly feeling the sensations in the body and the emotions that rest in the belly, we can identify what is driving us and why we would even want to work towards a world without hunger when our needs our met. This meditation is about fulling your cup emotionally so that you can act from a place that is of service to the whole.
SDG 1 No Poverty Collective
End poverty in all its forms everywhere.
Poverty is evident all over the world. We don’t have to look far to see people struggling with money on or below the poverty line. This meditation reflects on poverty within our society and invites the meditator to imagine a world where there is no poverty.
We hope that you finish this meditation feeling empowered and hopeful for the fair communities that we can begin creating now.
SDG 1 No Poverty Individual
End poverty in all its forms everywhere.
The aim of this meditation is to create space for you to explore your relationship with poverty within your own life and with the greater world. We acknowledge that poverty is a triggering topic and that deeply considering your relationship with it may be difficult, so we ask that you treat yourself with kindness if strong emotions do appear.
Together we can make a difference, and taking this time to consider your relationship with poverty is important for ensure that you are leading changes within your life from a full heart space and not from fear.
