Reverence & Resilience: Spiritual Leadership in a Time of Climate Crisis

“Reverence and Resilience: Spiritual Leadership in a Time of Climate Crisis” is a weekend intensive for people who care about God and God’s Creation. In the face of ecological crisis, what is God calling faith communities to do and be? What spiritual practices and perspectives sustain us as we struggle to protect the web of life and create a more just society? This weekend intensive — part retreat, part workshop — will explore a “framework for the heart” to help us become compassionate, prophetic communities of faith, equipped to take up the mantle of leadership that this decisive moment in history requires. Our time together will include presentations, guided meditation, space for solitary prayer, and group discussion.

Participants will explore how caring for the Earth is an integral part of living as the Jesus Movement, and will leave with practical tools to put their care into action. Together, we can do more than any of us can do alone. We encourage clergy and lay leaders from congregations to attend together.

Cost: $150 per person + $75 for optional Saturday overnight
