Earth Day is just around the corner, and we’ve rounded up our favorite events in Miami. From beach clean-ups to guided meditations, there is no shortage of ways to spend Earth Day 2021.
Earth Day Yoga and Meditation with Alec Spivack
Spend the morning aligning your body as part of Brickell City Centre’s 'Find Your Centre' event series, where they are hosting complimentary wellness classes all month long! This yoga and meditation class takes place on Earth Day itself, April 22. The hour-long class will ground your body and connect your soul to Mother Mature through a guided session. Participants will receive an exclusive BCC yoga mat and feel rejuvenated upon completion. The class will take place on Level 4 of Brickell City Center, and although free of charge, an online RSVP is required.
Planet Patrol “Artivism” Art Studio
Brickell City Center has partnered with the nonprofit organization Planet Patrol for Earth Day this year. Planet Patrol’s goal is to educate and inspire the next generation. The program, “Artivism” Art Studio, will educate individuals on climate change, pollution and animal rights. Participants will create their own artwork utilizing recycled material, which will be displayed throughout Brickell City Centre to continue to raise awareness and spark conversation about the issue. “Artivism” will take place on the third floor, from April 22-April 24, from 3:30 p.m.-5:30 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, and 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. on Saturday.

The organization prides itself on six main pillars: to rethink single-use consumption, to promote ways to reduce waste, to reuse what we already have, to promote recycling, recapture marine debris, and to advocate for the redesign of marine debris. On April 22, at 10:30 a.m., join the 1 Beach Club and Debris Free Oceans with a beach cleanup and enjoy a delicious Mijenta Tequila reward cocktail.

“Restore Our Earth!” with Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science and FPL SolarNow
