Just Tap In with Emilio Ortiz
COLOMBIA, WE HOLD YOU | A Global Gathering for Prayer, Healing & Action
This is the full replay of COLOMBIA, WE HOLD YOU, a global gathering of prayer, healing, reflection, and action that brought together more than 3,200 registered souls from around the world. This gathering was born in the wake of the devastating earthquake here in Colombia, my home country, and from a very simple question: What can we do when people around us are suffering? We came together to hold Colombia in our hearts, while also extending that prayer far beyond any one country to families and communities across the Earth who have recently experienced earthquakes, floods, fires, conflict, displacement, loss, and profound change. The intention was never for prayer to replace action, but for prayer to remind us why we act. When thousands of people gather around a shared intention, the whole becomes greater than its individual parts. For this time together, we chose to direct that attention toward greater love, coherence, presence, compassion, and tangible support for our fellow human beings and for the Earth we all share. ___________________ Throughout the gathering, several beautiful friends and community leaders offered their own medicine: ✦ Emilio Ortiz opened the gathering with a prayer in Spanish, grounding us in Colombia and extending that intention to the entire Earth. ✦ Franco Romero offered a reflection for Gaia and our relationship with the Earth during times of profound change. ✦ Hannah Singer guided a somatic embodiment practice, bringing the collective intention out of the mind and into the body. ✦ Eluña led a prayer and guided meditation for peace, healing, and the communities around the world moving through suffering. ✦ Kelly Kolodney shared a brief channeled offering dedicated to healing and holding those experiencing pain, grief, and loss. ✦ Stefan Burns explored how earthquakes and other geophysical events affect us and our relationship with the living Earth. ✦ JJ Brighton brought the gathering to a close through channeled song and light codes. ___________________ HOW TO SUPPORT EARTHQUAKE RELIEF IN COLOMBIA If you feel called to turn this prayer into tangible action, we are directing donations to ABACO / Bancos de Alimentos de Colombia, whose relief campaign is supporting families affected by the emergency. Their campaign highlights immediate needs including food, clean water, and direct support while longer-term reconstruction continues.

May Colombia feel our embrace. May every community moving through suffering feel our embrace. May the Earth herself feel our embrace. Colombia, we hold you. And together, we hold the Earth. ___________________ © 2026 Emilio Ortiz. All rights reserved. Content from Just Tap In Podcast is protected under copyright law.
