Facing Our Biodiversity-Climate Crisis: A Healing Practice of Communion with Life

Join Bill Cahalan, an ecopsychologist and dedicated advocate for the natural world, for a special session designed to cultivate a deeper connection with all life. Bill will begin by sharing about the global biodiversity-climate crisis as a major moral crisis of our time. He will then introduce a contemplative practice that can open us to a humble, at times ecstatic sense of kinship with local nature, which can extend to all life and the Cosmos. 

Participants will be guided outdoors into slow walking and empathic gazing.  We will return for a sharing circle, followed by discussion. This practice can be woven into nurturing our own yards and neighborhood landscapes as wild communities, inspiring us for further action in service to Life.
