In partnership with local advisors and with the support of Fetzer Institute, Kalliopeia Foundation, and other generous donors, the graduate program of Ecology, Spirituality, and Religion presents a 5-day online summit to explore the restoration work of Indigenous communities in California territories, including the interconnected areas of food sovereignty, stewardship of ancestral lands, and environmental justice within the broader context of Religion & Ecology. Indigenous approaches to biocultural stewardship and the protection of sacred sites offer insight to the inquiry of Religion and Ecology, which explores how spiritual beliefs and practices affect the natural world. Join us for a series of panel discussions, film screenings, and community forums to connect deeply with the work and stories from this field.
This year’s presenters offer diverse perspectives on the theme, bridging worldviews and pedagogies to enrich our exploration of Religion & Ecology and continue our work of responding to ecological and social injustice from integral and transdisciplinary perspectives. Confirmed speakers include Gregg Castro, Melissa K. Nelson, Chairman Val Lopez, Beth Rose Middleton Manning, Tatjana Kochetkova, John Clammer, Chantal Noa Forbes, Dina Gilio-Whitaker, Natasha Deganello Giraudie, Michael “Pom” Preston, Mary Evelyn Tucker, John Grim, Elizabeth Allison and others.
Webinars will be hosted on Zoom. Links will be e-mailed to registered guests prior to the event.
