Earth & More Day: The Heartbeat of a Planet United

March 23, 2026 by Jodi Marxbury

On April 22, the crossroads of the world transforms into something far more meaningful than a destination—it becomes a message. Under the vision and passion of Paul Sladkus, Earth & More Day rises in Times Square as a powerful reminder that the planet’s future is not just discussed, but felt.

This is not just another Earth Day gathering. It is a living expression of unity, where music, art, and activism come together in one of the most iconic places on Earth. The energy of Times Square shifts from spectacle to substance, as voices from every corner of the globe echo with purpose.

Artists take the stage not just to perform, but to inspire. Speakers share not just words, but urgency. And the crowd—diverse, vibrant, and engaged—becomes part of something larger than themselves. In that moment, the noise of the city becomes a chorus for change.

Paul Sladkus has created more than an event—he has created a movement. Earth & More Day stands as proof that awareness can be elevated through creativity, and that even in a world filled with distraction, there is still space for meaning.

In the shadow of towering billboards and flashing lights, something real happens. People listen. People feel. People connect.

And for a few powerful hours, Times Square is no longer just the center of the world—it is the conscience of it.

Jeffrey Weiss, author of the award-winning memoir, Racing Against Time: On Ironman, Ultramarathons, and the Quest for Transformation in Mid-Life

Listen to “Jeffrey Weiss, author of the award-winning memoir, Racing Against Time: On Ironman, Ultramarathons, and the Quest for Transformation in…” on Spreaker.

Jeffrey and I had an uplifting conversation, he inspired me to get back to a routine to exercise. Thanks Jeffrey. Paul

Here is the last thought from his book.

“And now, at the start of my seventh decade and after more than 13 years of endurance adventures that include successes I never thought possible, I find myself at a crossroads. I have stopped planning, beyond the World Majors. Instead, I will let my body and my desires at the time decide for me. What I know, though, is this: I want to always live a life of challenge and audacity in everything that I do. Eventually, age and presumably illness will take their toll and I will no doubt be forced to cede ground, but I will do so only reluctantly and hopefully with dignity. I will give age its due but not embrace it as an excuse to coast. Anything, or, more realistically, almost anything, is possible. Indeed, even the unlikeliest among us can become an Ironman.”
Jeffrey Weiss

Jeffrey is a successful business executive, an accomplished author of three books, and a two-time Ironman and an ultramarathoner. Jeffrey lives in Tel Aviv, where in 2024 he founded Stickers of Meaning, a project that preserves and educates about the memorial stickers that have appeared throughout Israel since October 7, 2023—honoring the fallen and inspiring the living with messages of love, purpose, daring, and joy.

Stanley Kubrick

Austin Tang — Wed, 10 Apr 2024 13:57:34 +0000

The power of the human will is an incredible force, and even in the most daunting times we are capable of making a positive difference. Legendary filmmaker Stanley Kubrick certainly believed this, as evidenced by this quote from a 1968 interview he gave in “Playboy” magazine. Kubrick (who made “2001,” “The Shining,” and other classics) argued that any meaning in life must be created by ourselves, and once we accept this responsibility, we can “forge a fresh sense of purpose and affirmation.” When we accept the challenges and limitations of life, he said, “our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment.”

What is the Lion’s Gate Portal? What It Means and How To Manifest

Austin Tang — Tue, 08 Aug 2023 14:56:21 +0000

The Lion’s Gate Portal is open! Here are the biggest cosmic dos and don’ts during the 8/8 portal.

On August 8, 2023, the Lion’s Gate Portal will reach its full power, bringing the stars together in a cosmic alignment ripe with magic and manifestation.

The Lion’s Gate Portal is at its peak today. This year’s annual portal opening is very special because it’ll be occurring during a dramatic Venus retrograde, making it an extra powerful time for vision setting, intentions, and manifestation. During the Lion’s Gate Portal, you’re being asked to look beyond your current reality. Whatever you’re looking for doesn’t exist on this plane of existence but that doesn’t mean it’s unreachable. Now is your chance to harness the transformative energy of the stars.

Leo season is all about living your truth and wearing your heart on your sleeve. During the Lion’s Gate Portal, you’ll feel more attuned to your desires and passions. This transit will crack open your heart and connect you with the portal to your own soul expression. Sit with the worries and doubts that you have and listen to what they’re really saying. You don’t have to make radical changes to your life to radically change the life you’re living. Even the smallest, most mundane adjustments can have a lasting impact on your world. This is an opportunity to ask the stars for all the things you want.

The Lion’s Gate Portal is an annual event that occurs during Leo season, when the Earth, Sirius, and Orion align in the zodiac of Leo, unlocking the Lion’s Gate Portal. The portal is open between July 28 and August 12, 2023, with the stars in the closest alignment on August 8, 2023. During Leo season, there is a special focus on self-expression and authenticity. You’re being called to take on all the qualities of the fierce and ferocious King of the Jungle – and step into your power. You’re honoring all the past versions of yourself and acknowledging how every failure and heartbreak has led you to where you are today.

This year’s Lion’s Gate Portal takes place during a dramatic Venus retrograde in Leo, causing everyone to rethink their commitments. Big changes come with big emotions; approach disagreements with compassion and grace. An electrifying Venus Cazimi on August 13, 2023, will illuminate your desire for independence and freedom. And just a few days after the Lion’s Gate Portal closes, the New Moon in Leo on August 16, 2023, will give you the energy and motivation you need to create a fresh start. The cosmic energies are connected and working together to support you as you make this massive shift.

The Spiritual Meaning of the Lions Gate Portal

The Lion’s Gate Portal occurs when the Earth, the star Sirius, and Orion are in alignment, opening a powerful energy portal that can be used for spiritual healing, manifesting, and more. This shift provides you with a chance to amplify your intentions, align your spirit, and bring your desired reality to fruition. During the Lion’s Gate Portal, take some time to check in with your ego and recenter yourself. Your past isn’t something to hide or be ashamed of – it’s part of who you are and your journey to healing. If you’re someone who has a magic or esoteric practice, the Lion’s Gate Portal is an excellent time to check in with your guides.

Energy flows in cycles and you gain back what you put into the world around you. By aligning your life plans with the power of the Lion’s Gate Portal, you can make the pre-destined journey of the stars work in your favor. This time of year marks the end of summer and the start of a new season of life. So there’s no better time to embrace the spirit of transformation and reimagine how you show up in the world. The Lion’s Gate Portal will help you set clear intentions for the rest of the year.

Significance of the Number 8 in Astrology, Tarot, and Numerology

The Lion’s Gate Portal is a powerful source of cosmic energy, and there’s an added layer of significance due to the portal opening on 8/8. The number eight holds many meanings in the esoteric space. In astrology, the number eight is associated with the planet Saturn, which governs structure and discipline. Saturn is the planet of limitations. It shows where you might feel confined or unfairly held back by the Universe. It also shows where you’ll need to put the most effort into something in order to see positive results.

In numerology, the number eight is symbolized by the infinity symbol (∞) and represents themes of reflection, balancing, opportunity, optimism, and transformation. Numerology sees the number eight as a sign of recurrent cycles. And seeing the number eight repeated in the form of angel numbers or life path numbers can serve as a reminder to live and let live. There’s a constant flow of new beginnings and endings in life – and the number eight is a sign of the beauty that comes with embracing change.

In the tarot, the number eight is symbolic of taking action. These cards represent the moments in life where hard work, dedication, focus, and sacrifice are needed in order to grow. The eights in tarot show the areas of life where “doing the work” will yield the most satisfying results. The major arcana card, Strength, is also commonly associated with the number eight. This card is often depicted with a woman taming a wild lion with a calm and gentle touch. Like the Lion’s Gate Portal, the Strength card asks you to bravely face the pain and challenges in life to learn to coexist with them peacefully.

How To Manifest During the Lions Gate Portal

The Lion’s Gate Portal is a powerful time for manifestation. From July 28 to August 12, the Lion’s Gate Portal illuminates the Earth, activating the gateway between the physical and the spirit worlds. And August 8 is one of the most important days during this cosmic event. There are plenty of tricks and tools you can use to manifest during the Lion’s Gate Portal. And there is no right or wrong way to celebrate the Lion’s Gate Portal, so focus on crafting an approach that is unique to your needs.

One popular ritual involves a three-card tarot spread that shows you what the future holds. The first card you pull represents your present reality and the challenges you’re facing. The next card represents what you’re leaving behind during this year’s Lion’s Gate Portal. And the final card shows how you are moving to align more fully with your soul calling. This spread can be done in addition to lighting candles, writing affirmations, and other spells that make the most of the Lion’s Gate Portal window.

Another method you can use during this portal opening is scripting and journaling. You can use the alignment of the Lion’s Gate Portal to put power behind your words. Try selecting a single power word or mantra that you feel best represents your goals for the rest of the year. Phrases like “I am always in the right place at the right time” or “Everything works out in my favor” can be a powerful way to anchor your dreams in your everyday life. This also is a good day for writing in your dream journal, updating your vision boards, saying your affirmations and mantras in the mirror, charging your crystals, and so much more.
