Nature, Environmental Justice and EarthCare: A Spiritual Weekend Retreat
November 18-20, 2022, with Lyanda Lynn Haupt
Cutting-edge science supports a truth that poets, artists, mystics, and earth-based cultures have proclaimed across millennia: life on this planet is radically interconnected. Join Lyanda Lynn Haupt, an award-winning author, naturalist, and ecophilosopher, as we explore her book Rooted: Life at the Crossroads of Science, Nature and Spirit. In Rooted, Lyanda explores “rootedness” as a way of being in concert with wilderness—and wildness—and throughout the book she offers practices, way-markers and fortification for all who are seeking our unique, bewildering path through the essential question of how to live with grace and authenticity on our imperiled, beloved earth. This will be an exciting retreat for participants to think more deeply about environmental justice, the places where we find joy, and our connection to nature.
