SUMMARY:Ministry In The Time Of Climate Change 2019
DESCRIPTION:The 2019 Minister’s Training will be held at Methodist Theological School in Ohio in partnership with MTSO\, the Climate Reality Project and the Initiative for Food and AgriCultural Transformation at Ohio State University.\n\n\n \n \n“The soil is the great connector of lives\, the source and destination of all. It is the healer and restorer and resurrector\, by which disease passes into health\, age into youth\, death into life. Without proper care for it we can have no community\, because without proper care for it we can have no life.”  – Wendell Berry\, The Unsettling of America: Culture and Agriculture \n \nTechnological advances in the 20th and the 21st century offer many American consumers easy access to cheap and abundant food\, much of which is traced to supply and labor chains around the world. The same advances have resulted in the depletion of soils\, the overuse of fertilizers\, herbicides\, and pesticides\, greenhouse gas pollution\, as well as increasing obesity and food related health issues. And within this system\, millions in the U.S. and billions more across the globe go hungry each day. Food deserts persist across urban and rural America\, and upwards of 41 million Americans are food insecure\, 13 million of whom are children. This system keeps externalities hidden\, supply high\, and prices low affecting the long term health of soils\, water\, human beings and wildlife. \nAs climate change becomes more pronounced\, communities around the world will have to become more self-sufficient and sustainable. This new model of resilience may entail some hardship\, but it also brings the opportunity to create new\, more robust community relationships with the land and one another. It is here that faith communities have unique opportunity to guide others by providing space\, pastoral care\, education and leadership. \n\nThis year’s conference will teach faith leaders how our current food system is contributing to the climate crisis\, explore the impact climate change is having on farming and food security\, and help empower attendees to take action on these issues in a way that aligns with their deepest values. The training is hosted by the Center for Earth Ethics\, The Climate Reality Project\, Methodist Theological School in Ohio (MTSO)\, and the Initiative for Food and AgriCultural Transformation at Ohio State University. \nThe training will take place at MTSO May 30th-June 1. \nApplications: \nApplications are open for the 2019 program. Application deadline is April 15\, 2019. Applicants will be notified soon after. Click here to submit an application. \nTravel and Accommodations: \nFor information about travel and local accommodations\, please click here. \nQuestions:  \nPlease contact: Genie Cooper \n\n\n\n\n\nby Andrew Schwartz

SUMMARY:Marrying Indigenous Wisdom and Scientific Knowledge: Reimagining the Human Place in Nature

SUMMARY:Rites and Rituals - Mona Polacca and Marina Abramović at The Rubin Museum
DESCRIPTION:Our world is shaped by ritual. Hopi/Havasupai/Tewa Grandmother Mona Polacca meets with the “grandmother of performance art” Marina Abramović to talk about the essential role that ritual\, repetition\, and durational experiences play in reminding of us of our relationships to all things. \nAbout the Speakers \n\nMona Polacca\, a Hopi/Havasupai/Tewa elder\, has a Master of Social Work degree and has recently been chosen as a member of the World Council of Religious and Spiritual Leaders in recognition of her international justice work. She has worked on issues of Indigenous Peoples especially related to the Right to Water\, social and health issues\, and elderly native peoples. \nMona serves on several United Nations committees on indigenous people’s issues and is a featured author\, speaker\, and educator on indigenous people’s human rights\, aging\, mental health\, addiction\, and violence. She is also the President/CEO and faculty member of the Turtle Island Project\, a nonprofit program that promotes a vision of wellness by providing trans-cultural training to individuals\, families\, and healthcare professionals. \n\nSince the beginning of her career in Belgrade during the early 1970s\, Marina Abramović has pioneered performance art\, creating some of the form’s most important early works. Exploring her physical and mental limits\, she has withstood pain\, exhaustion\, and danger in her quest for emotional and spiritual transformation. \nAbramović was awarded the Golden Lion for Best Artist at the 1997 Venice Biennale. In 2010\, Abramović had her first major U.S. retrospective and simultaneously performed for over 700 hours in The Artist Is Present at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Abramovic founded the Marina Abramovic Institute (MAI)\, a platform for immaterial and long durational work to create new possibilities for collaboration among thinkers of all fields. \nHer most recent publication is Walk Through Walls: A Memoir\, Published by Crown Archetype on October 25\, 2016. Her retrospective\, The Cleaner\, opened at Moderna Museet\, Stockholm in February 2017 and is touring to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark\, Henie Onstad Kunstsenter in Oslo\, Bundeskunsthalle in Bonn\, and Palazzo Strozzi in Florence. \n\nImage Credit\nPortrait of Marina Abramović\, © Dusan Reljin\, 2018

SUMMARY:Do Rivers Have Rights?
DESCRIPTION:If a river had the same legal rights as a person\, would we do a better job of protecting its ecosystem? And how might this legalistic approach intersect with traditional customs and rituals for sacred places? \nHindus believe life is incomplete without bathing in the Ganges at least once. While the river’s spiritual purity has remained unchallenged for millennia\, its water is now physically impure with the pollution of human and industrial waste. \nA court in Uttarakhand ruled that the Ganges and Yamuna rivers and their related ecosystems have “the status of a legal person\, with all corresponding rights\, duties\, and liabilities…in order to preserve and conserve them.” Can the same claim be made for the Hudson or any ecosystem? And if so\, what mechanisms can enforce these declarations? \nPhilosopher Vishwa Adluri meets with Riverkeeper’s John Lipscomb and environmental lawyer Ben Price to enlighten us on the issues at stake. \n \nAbout the Speakers

SUMMARY:What Would Buddha Do?
DESCRIPTION:If we are doomed no matter what\, do our decisions matter? In this program\, two self-proclaimed “bad Buddhists” try to answer the question of how to lose less badly and live ethically in the no-win situation of catastrophic climate change. \nWen Stephenson\, author of What We’re Fighting for Now Is Each Other\, wrote in a recent essay for The Baffler: ”[Climate] doomists are right that it’s a no-win situation. [And yet] even at this late date\, some versions of ‘losing’ could look far worse than others. We can still lose less badly!” \nEchoing this sentiment\, Roy Scranton\, author of Learning to Die in the Anthropocene\, wrote in a recent tweet: \n“If we are not careful\, we will waste our energy trying to convince zealots\, arguing over who is to blame\, attacking our allies\, and preaching to the choir\, and the seas will rise all the same. Is this the best use of what little time we have? Or can we do something different?” \nLook into the abyss with Scranton and Stephenson as they try make ethical sense of our collective catastrophe. \nAbout the Speakers

SUMMARY:Indigenous Timekeeping and Sacred Sites Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Does time fly? Is it a line\, a circle\, a spiral? Does it touch us differently in different spaces? Many of us take for granted the meaning of the clock and the calendar\, without considering that they are cultural constructs—related to natural cycles but also distinct from them. \nIn this workshop you can explore your own notions of time and space while learning about Indigenous timekeeping and sacred sites. The workshop is led by Geraldine Patrick Encina of the Center for Earth Ethics\, who has studied the ancient and traditional calendars of Mesoamerica and also worked with Mayan communities to reclaim their original ways of timekeeping\, and Mindahi Bastida Muñoz\, also of Center for Earth Ethics\, who works for the protection of the sacred sites and biocultural heritage of Indigenous peoples. \nAttendees are asked to bring a picture of a beloved home landscape and of a sacred site they are connected to. Please also bring a device that can access Google Maps. \nThe schedule is as follows:\nSalutation to the seven directions | 11:30–11:40 AM \nParticipant’s place-based presentation | 11:42 AM–12:15 PM \nBirth season and birthplace\, ancestors’ land(s)\, and a description/depiction of our beloved home landscape in every season. \nTimekeeping as a method of “placekeeping” or caretaking for the land | 12:17–1:00 PM \nThe Mayan case. Watch a short video about the original wisdom of the Maya and their true calendar. Learn about sacred sites in Mexico and their related ritual calendar dates. By using Google Maps\, try to figure out what is/are the ritual calendar date(s) for your sacred site. \nBreak | 1:00–1:20 PM \nDeveloping a time-space consciousness | 1:25–2:00 PM \nKeeping track of the sun\, moon\, and stars in our beloved home landscape. \nActivating Sacred Sites | 2:02–2:20 PM \nHow do we activate sacred sites in our beloved home landscape? Some guidelines. \nWriting a letter to our beloved home landscape | 2:22–2:30 PM \nAn opportunity for reconnecting in a sacred way. \nAbout the Speakers \nGeraldine Patrick Encina is the Scholar in Residence at the Original Caretakers Program at the Center for Earth Ethics. She has studied the ancient and traditional calendars of Mesoamerica and also worked with Mayan communities to reclaim their original ways of timekeeping. \nMindahi Bastida Muñoz is director of the Original Caretakers program at Center for Earth Ethics.

SUMMARY:PHAKCHOK RINPOCHE + ERRIC SOLOMON ANCIENT WISDOM AND TECH FUTURE
DESCRIPTION:If you thought ancient wisdom and Silicon Valley had nothing in common\, think again. Tibetan Buddhist lama Phakchok Rinpoche talks with tech entrepreneur Erric Solomon about ways we can break out of the imprisonment of habitual action (karma) and start to experience the unconditioned existence where true happiness lies. It’s radical. The speakers have prepared for this program: they are joint authors of Radically Happy. \n  \n“Radically Happy brings the new and the old together in a beautiful way. Phakchok Rinpoche marries his deep understanding of ancient wisdom with Erric Solomon’s experience in the technology-driven modern world. The combination helps us understand how meditation\, kindness\, and wisdom can make a real difference\, moment to moment\, in daily life.” —Mingyur Rinpoche\, author of The Joy of Living and Turning Confusion into Clarity A book signing of Radically Happy will follow the program.

SUMMARY:Take class with CEE in November.  Topics in Ministry: Religion and Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:SU190 Course Fall 2018: Topics in Ministry \nReligion and Climate Change: The World’s Faith & Wisdom Traditions in Ecological Crisis \nRegistration is open to UTS students/SU190 and to the public for a $25 registration fee.  Register here. \nClimate change is about more than science and economics. It raises questions about our moral obligations to one another across space and time and the nature of our interconnectedness. The same is true of other aspects of our ecological crisis: deforestation\, extinction of a vast number of species\, and the depletion and contamination of soil\, water and air. A deep inquiry into human belief systems yields insights into both the root causes of this problem and the sources of hope. Our studies include Laudato Si by Pope Francis\, the legacy of the Standing Rock prayer camp\, The Time to Act Is Now: A Buddhist Declaration on Climate Change\, The African Methodist Episcopal Church Statement on Climate Change and other major statements and voices. We also examine the ways in which theological language has been used to bolster support for the continued extraction and burning of fossil fuels.

SUMMARY:Learning the Mesoamerican legacy of being in harmony with nature: A workshop and talk with Dr. Mindahi Bastida
