In a fractured, fracturing world, when human insanity is threatening the health and future of life on the planet, where do we find a deeper, wilder sanity? What would it mean to root into this sanity, to listen with our bodies and hearts and relationships to the holy in it all and shape our worlds accordingly? On a personal level: What is resilience – what is spirituality – in this liminal time, in the body and place and multi-species communities you inhabit?
This symposium invites you deep into these questions: to listen and journal, to encounter land and water and wind and movement, to let the world’s reality find and soften and open you. Ultimately, we are curious about how we (personally, communally, in each particular place) can learn to participate in the world’s resilience and wild spirituality in creative new ways. What might emerge for you?
This symposium is sponsored by the Center for Transformative Spirituality at HIU and supported by the Forum for Life and Meaning.
Feature speakers:
- Erik Assadourian of The Gaian Way
