SEEING THE WORLD, SENSING THE SACRED: RESPONDING TO THE CHALLENGES OF CLIMATE CHANGE FROM WITHIN (ZOOM and in person)

$15

with Paul Doherty

Calendar May 3, 2024 at 10 am, runs for 3 weeks

. We are hearing more and more about the reality, as well as seeing for ourselves the effects, of climate change in our world and in our own lives. We may have also become aware of an ever-growing number of possible responses. In this three-session hybrid course, we will explore how we might respond to the challenge as guided by a range of spiritual teachers and practices ranging from indigenous peoples to the insights of individual wisdom figures through the ages. Our goal ultimately is to tap into those same sources of wisdom, hope, and healing within ourselves. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. Chief Seattle In this moment, I am in a mutually-enhancing relationship with all about me. I receive from it beauty, wonder, and intimacy, and I give back to it my loving attention, Thomas Berry We are faced not with two separate crises, one environmental and the other social, but rather with one complex crisis which is both social and environmental…so as to hear both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor. Pope Francis, Laudato Si
