SUMMARY:Catherine Flowers joins the One Water Summit for Stories from the Frontlines: Closing the Water Access Gap
DESCRIPTION:CEE’s Catherine Coleman Flowers joins hundreds of solutions driven panelists in Austin\, TX for the 2019 One Water Summit.  She will be speaking as part of Stories from the Frontlines: Closing the Water Access Gap on Thursday\, September 19th\, 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm.  Learn more about the 2019 One Water Summit… \n\nStories from the Frontlines: Closing the Water Access Gap\nWhen we think of vulnerable communities that struggle with lack of access to drinking water and wastewater services\, we tend to think of developing countries. The overall high quality of water systems in the US obscures the fact that 1.6 million Americans still lack access to complete plumbing facilities. Lack of access predominantly affects vulnerable groups like low-income people in rural areas\, communities of color\, tribal communities\, and immigrants. Participants will hear from frontline leaders working in communities affected by water access challenges to learn about the innovative strategies they are developing to close the water access gap. The US Water Alliance partnered with DigDeep and Michigan State University to conduct extensive field research on the water access challenges in six hotspots: California’s Central Valley\, Puerto Rico\, the colonias (along the Texas-Mexico border)\, tribal areas in the Four Corners region\, the Deep South\, and Appalachia. This session will feature policy recommendations and funding priorities and consider what it will take to make significant strides toward universal access to running water and indoor plumbing. \nModerators:\n• Matthew Manos\, Founder and Managing Director\, verynice\n• George McGraw\, Founder and Chief Executive Officer\, DigDeep \nSpeakers:\n• Miguel Chacon\, Financial Director & Housing Program Coordinator\, AYUDA Inc.\n• Ann Marie Chischilly\, Executive Director\, Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals\n• Catherine Flowers\, Senior Fellow\, Environmental Justice and Civic Engagement at the Center for Earth Ethics\n• Zoe Roller\, Senior Program Manager\, US Water Alliance \n\nCheck out the agenda for One Water Summit 2019 here.

SUMMARY:Christian Domination and the Failure of ‘Truth and Reconciliation’ - POSTPONED to 2020
DESCRIPTION:A conference in Onondaga Nation Territory at Syracuse University and Skä·noñh—Great Law of Peace Center.  Saturday and Sunday\, 17-18 August 2019. \nPOSTPONED to August 22 -23\, 2020\nDescription:\nThis conference continues discussions between religious communities and Indigenous Peoples about the Doctrine of Christian Discovery (DOCD) so that real healing can occur. “Truth and Reconciliation” efforts in settler-colonial states have the appearance of resolving the history of conquest and domination but often do not result in a healing of Indigenous Peoples and their lands. Using words like reconciliation\, repudiation\, domination\, discovery\, conquest\, missionization\, colonialism and settler-colonialism\, or referring to Indigenous Peoples in the singular or as populations\, issues or groups\, has consequences. Noam Chomsky\, George Lakoff\, and Steven Newcomb remind us that word choice matters and\, although these concepts appear benign\, they actually perpetuate and give cover to a violent past. The DOCD continues to be a matter of urgent concern for Indigenous Peoples around the world. It has emboldened trans-national corporations to further their extraction practices everywhere forcing standoffs and migration of Indigenous Peoples. Our lineup of speakers will address international migration issues and the connection between the DOCD and the destruction of Mother Earth. \n  \nConfirmed speakers:\n\nOren Lyons (Onondaga Nation Council of Chiefs)\nTadodaho Sid Hill (Onondaga Nation Council of Chiefs)\nBeverly Jacobs (Law\, University of Windsor)\nBetty Lyons (American Indian Law Alliance)\nSandy Bigtree (Indigenous Values Initiative)\nJoe Heath (General Council for the Onondaga Nation)\nPhil Arnold (Religion\, Syracuse University)\n\n  \nConference fees:\n\nEarly-bird registration $125 until 30 June 2019\nRegular registration $150 until 31 July 2019\nLate registration $175 until 15 August\nWalkup registration $200\n\nRegister Now  \nScholarships:\nThere are a limited number of scholarships available to cover the registration fee. \nIf you need a scholarship\, please send an email to info@indigenousvalues.org and briefly tell us who you are\, why you would like to attend and any work you do connected to dismantling the ‘doctrine of discovery’ and why you are applying for a scholarship.

SUMMARY:The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: Reflections of Indigenous Peoples of the Andean World\, Latin America & the Caribbean
DESCRIPTION:Con apoyo de las Oficinas de la UNESCO en Brasilia\, Montevideo y Quito\, y el auspicio de Encuentro: La Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible\, los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible\, y el Diálogo de Saberes \nReflexiones de Pueblos Indígenas del Mundo Andino y de América Latina y el Caribe \nManaos\, Brasil\, 10 de agosto de 2019\nComfort Hotel Manaus (Av. Mandi\, 263 – Distrito Industrial I\, Manaus – AM\, 69075-140\, Brasil; teléfono: +55 92 2123-8999) \nIntroducción\nCon el lema principal de no dejar a nadie atrás\, la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible ofrece la oportunidad a grupos históricamente relegados para participar en el debate internacional con voz más potente. \nLos pueblos indígenas de los países andinos y de las Américas en general aprovechan esta coyuntura favorable para posicionar sus temas de interés prioritario en foros internacionales sobre desarrollo y cooperación. \nWith the main motto of leaving no one behind\, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development offers the opportunity to historically relegated groups to participate in the international debate with a more powerful voice. The indigenous peoples of the Andean countries and the Americas in general take advantage of this favorable situation to position their topics of priority interest in international forums on development and cooperation. \nJustificación\nEn línea con la Política de Colaboración de la UNESCO con los Pueblos Indígenas\, y también \n1 https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/es/\n2 https://es.unesco.org/indigenous-peoples/policy (original en inglés; folleto infográfico en español; traducción de trabajo al español en marcha) \ncon su prioridad global igualdad de género\, así como con la Estrategia Operacional de la UNESCO sobre la Juventud (2014-2021)\, la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación\, la Ciencia y la Cultura (UNESCO) facilita instancias de reflexión y discusión entre\nrepresentantes de pueblos indígenas del mundo andino y de la región para posicionar sus temas y prioridades y poner en valor el conocimiento ancestral. \nLos pueblos indígenas han acumulado conocimientos en sus territorios\, sobre el manejo de los recursos naturales\, como la gestión integrada de los recursos hídricos\, que deben ser tenidos en cuenta en un diálogo de saberes balanceado para el cumplimiento de la Agenda 2030. \nIn line with UNESCO’s Collaboration Policy with Indigenous Peoples\, and also 1 https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/es/ 2 https://es.unesco.org/indigenous-peoples/policy (original in English; infographic brochure in Spanish; translation of work into Spanish in progress) With its global gender equality priority\, as well as with the UNESCO Operational Strategy on Youth (2014-2021)\, the United Nations Educational\, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) facilitates instances of reflection and discussion between representatives of indigenous peoples of the Andean world and the region to position their themes and priorities and value ancestral knowledge. Indigenous peoples have accumulated knowledge in their territories\, about the management of natural resources\, such as integrated water resources management\, which must be taken into account in a balanced knowledge dialogue for the fulfillment of the 2030 Agenda. \nAntecedentes\nCon algunas publicaciones de UNESCO como antecedentes generales\, del Programa sobre Sistemas de Conocimientos Locales e Indígenas (Programa LINKS por su acrónimo en inglés) y del Programa Hidrológico Internacional (PHI)\, UNESCO ha realizado una serie de acciones que realzan el conocimiento indígena y promueven el diálogo de saberes: \nWith some UNESCO publications as a general background\, of the Program on Local and Indigenous Knowledge Systems (LINKS Program for its acronym in English) and the International Hydrological Program (PHI)\, UNESCO has carried out a series of actions that enhance indigenous knowledge and promote the dialogue of knowledge: \n “el agua y los pueblos indígenas”; publicación conjunta LINKS-PHI del año 2007;\n “Conocimientos del Pueblo Mayangna sobre la Convivencia del Hombre y la Naturaleza: Peces y Tortugas”; publicación LINKS de 2010. \nTrabajando en los países de la subregión andina\, en el mundo andino-amazónico\, se añade la “S”\, la “S” de saberes diversos\, de diálogo de saberes\, a los temas de ciencia\, tecnología e innovación (CTI)\, y se produce la transición de CTI a CTI-S\, con eventos desarrollados por UNESCO junto al Viceministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología\, del Ministerio de Educación del Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia\, y contrapartes\, como los siguientes: \nWorking in the countries of the Andean subregion\, in the Andean-Amazonian world\, the “S”\, the “S” of diverse knowledge\, of dialogue of knowledge\, are added to the topics of science\, technology and innovation (CTI)\, and the transition from CTI to CTI-S occurs\, with events developed by UNESCO together with the Vice Ministry of Science and Technology\, of the Ministry of Education of the Plurinational State of Bolivia\, and counterparts\, such as the following: \n Taller “Ciencia\, Tecnología\, Innovación y Diálogo de Saberes – Una Mirada desde los Países Andinos” (La Paz\, noviembre de 2017);\n Encuentro Internacional de Comunicación y Divulgación de la Ciencia\, y Jornadas de Divulgación de la Ciencia (La paz y Cochabamba\, mayo de 2019). \nPosicionando con fuerza la “S” de saberes diversos\, de conocimiento indígena\, y reconociendo elementos de especial relevancia para pueblos indígenas de la región\, se apoya también el proceso en marcha de las Reservas Espirituales de la Humanidad\, denominación de trabajo acuñada en el año 2011\, del reconocimiento y valorización de sitios sagrados\, de sitios bioculturales de los pueblos indígenas de la región. El proceso ha sido inspirado en sagas y mamos de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta en Colombia\, y su finalidad sería crear una categoría internacional para proteger y nominar sitios de excelencia por sus valores sagrados\, y conformar con ellos una red internacional. \nVinculando lo anterior con áreas de trabajo como Agua y Pueblos Indígenas\, se ha posicionado estos temas en los dos recientes Foros Mundiales del Agua\, en el VII Foro en República de Corea\, en 2015\, y en marzo de este año en el primer Foro Mundial del Agua desarrollado en el hemisferio sur: el VIII Foro Mundial que tuvo lugar en Brasilia\, Brasil\, en el cual desde el PHI se organizó la sesión especial “Culturas del agua en los pueblos de América Latina”. \nCon este mismo contexto general\, se realizó también el “Encuentro sobre Agua y Espiritualidad – Reservas Espirituales de la Humanidad” con líderes indígenas de la región (Cusco\, Perú\, octubre de 2017). Alejandro Argumedo\, líder indígena de la Asociación ANDES y del Parque de la Papa en Cusco\, principal contraparte en el evento\, señaló que el encuentro había logrado reunir al cóndor (mundo andino) y al águila (mundo mesoamericano). \nVolviendo a la Agenda 2030\, y en especial al Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible\, Igualdad de Género\, que promueve la participación y el empoderamiento de las mujeres en la ciencia\, los medios de comunicación y la cultura\, todo ello alineado con la prioridad global de la UNESCO “Igualdad de Género”\, es especialmente grato escuchar con potencia en este Encuentro “la voz de las mujeres”. \nStrongly positioning the “S” of diverse knowledge\, indigenous knowledge\, and recognizing elements of special relevance for indigenous peoples of the region\, the ongoing process of the Spiritual Reserves of Humanity\, denomination\, is also supported of work coined in 2011\, of the recognition and valorization of sacred sites\, of biocultural sites of the indigenous peoples of the region. The process has been inspired by sagas and mamos from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Colombia\, and its purpose would be to create an international category to protect and nominate sites of excellence for their sacred values\, and form an international network with them. Linking the above with work areas such as Water and Indigenous Peoples\, these issues have been positioned in the two recent World Water Forums\, in the VII Forum in the Republic of Korea\, in 2015\, and in March this year in the first World Forum of Water developed in the southern hemisphere: the VIII World Forum that took place in Brasilia\, Brazil\, in which the special session “Water Cultures in the peoples of Latin America” ​​was organized from the IHP. With this same general context\, the “Meeting on Water and Spirituality – Spiritual Reserves of Humanity” was held with indigenous leaders of the region (Cusco\, Peru\, October 2017). Alejandro Argumedo\, indigenous leader of the ANDES Association and the Potato Park in Cusco\, the main counterpart in the event\, said the meeting had brought together the condor (Andean world) and the eagle (Mesoamerican world). Returning to the 2030 Agenda\, and especially the Sustainable Development Goal\, Gender Equality\, which promotes the participation and empowerment of women in science\, the media and culture\, all aligned with the global priority of the UNESCO “Gender Equality”\, it is especially pleasant to hear with power in this Meeting “the voice of women”. \nObjetivo del Encuentro\nOfrecer a lideresas y líderes indígenas del mundo andino-amazónico y de la región una instancia de reflexión\, de intercambio\, en términos de diálogo sur-sur\, y de compartir experiencias y lecciones aprendidas\, para continuar posicionando su visión y su voz en el marco de la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible. \nEn plena celebración del Año Internacional de las Lenguas Indígenas (2019)\, el Encuentro coincide adicionalmente con el Día Internacional de los Pueblos Indígenas (9 de agosto).

SUMMARY:UN Religious Advisory Council of the Inter-Agency Task Force on Religion UN High-Level Political Forum
DESCRIPTION:Empowering people and ensuring inclusiveness and equality: The Role of UN and Multi Faith Collaboration: July 15\, 2019 \n“The 2030 Agenda is our roadmap and its goals and targets are tools to get there.” – United Nations Secretary-General\, Mr. António Guterres \nThe UN Interagency Task Force involves 20 UN system entities\, each participating at different levels of intensity within the Task Force. The one thing these otherwise very diverse UN offices shares is their engagement with religious actors\, and/or their awareness\, and action\, around religious intersections with their respective organizational strategic objectives. Since 2010\, the UN Interagency Task Force Members have been convening policy roundtables\, workshops\, seminars\, and joint initiatives around key UN intergovernmental fora (CSW\, CPD\, HLPF\, and UNGA)\, around religion and religious engagement\, and several reports\, policy outcomes and initiatives are produced as a result of these consultations. \n \nCenter for Earth Ethics Director\, Karenna Gore will be participating in an interactive panel at the High Level Political Forum. Union Theological Seminary\, home to the Center for Earth Ethics\, now has Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) status at the UN. \nTHE HIGH-LEVEL POLITICAL FORUM 2019 UNDER THE AUSPICES OF ECOSOC \nThe meeting of the high-level political forum on sustainable development in 2019 convened under the auspices of the Economic and Social Council\, will be held from Tuesday\, 9 July\, to Thursday\, 18 July 2019; including the three-day ministerial meeting of the forum from Tuesday\, 16 July\, to Thursday\, 18 July 2019. \nThe theme will be “Empowering people and ensuring inclusiveness and equality”. The set of goals to be reviewed in depth is the following: \n• Goal 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all \n• Goal 8. Promote sustained\, inclusive and sustainable economic growth\, full and productive employment and decent work for all \n• Goal 10. Reduce inequality within and among countries \n• Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts \n• Goal 16. Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development\, provide access to justice for all and build effective\, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels \n• Goal 17. Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development For more information on Thematic SDG Reviews\, click here. \nhttp://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/documents/Plan%20of%20Action%20Advanced%20C \nThe purpose of the Kofi Annan Faith Briefings is: \n1. To provide a dedicated and ‘regular’ space\, during a key intergovernmental moment (in this case the HLPF) capitalizing on the unique constellation of geopolitical and socio-cultural human capital\, well-versed in religion and religiously related affairs\, which is capable of informing\, and being informed by\, UN system deliberations. \n2. To uphold the importance of strategic partnerships by the UN system with faith- based and faith-inspired civil society actors\, around the world for specific SDGs; \n3. To present and assess the diverse range of partnerships between different faith entities and between them and the UN and its member states\, as a means to realising the SDG goals; \n4. To thereby showcase the multi-faith civic support for multilateralism which is dedicated to the service of human rights\, sustainable development and peace and security. \nBriefings on July 15 will be “Empowering people and ensuring inclusiveness and equality: The Role of UN and Multi Faith Collaboration”.

SUMMARY:SacredWater: Our First Medicine with Grandmother Carole
DESCRIPTION:The event is co-sponsored by Water Is Life Walks\, Schaghticoke First Nations\, Beyond the 7th Fire\, Learning Lab for Resiliency\, Tribal Harmony\, Center for Earth Ethics and the Hudson River Maritime Museum. \nRiverkeeper invites the public to a free event to welcome Grandmother Carole\, who is walking from the source of Muhheakantuck (the Hudson River) in the Adirondack Mountains to its mouth at New York Harbor. \nThis is Grandmother Carole’s 9th Water is Life Walk\, and the first for the Hudson. Her “healing walk for the Sacred Water” began June 3 and is to conclude July 2\, when she delivers water gathered from the headwaters to New York Harbor as part of her mission to rebuild the human-to-water connection. \nThe event will provide people the opportunity to hear Grandmother Carole’s stories\, ask questions\, and participate in a blending of the waters Unity Ceremony. Participants are requested to bring a small container of water from their home and/or a free-flowing source of water near their home for this ceremony. \nThe event will also feature two short films by National Geographic filmmaker Jon Bowermaster: Source to Sea\, which explores how Riverkeeper’s Water Quality Program answers the question\, “How’s the water?” and Undamming the Hudson\, which showcases Riverkeeper’s efforts to restore natural habitat by eliminating obsolete dams throughout the Hudson River Estuary. \n“The water remembers everything from the beginning of time\,” Grandmother Carole has said. “The total amount of water that exists on the planet – in the oceans\, lakes\, rivers\, ice caps\, groundwater\, and atmosphere – is a fixed quantity. The water that existed then exists now.” \n“Each step is a prayer\,” she says of her walks. “Praying for the SacredWater is praying for everything and everyone\, for nothing lives without Water. The theme for the Water is Life Water Walk has been the same since 2003: Ni guh Izhi chigay Nibi onji. I will do it for the water. All people\, all faiths\, one prayer\, for the SacredWater is the connecting source of life\, the great unifier.” \nFor more information\, contact Rebecca Martin\, Riverkeeper Water Quality Program Coordinator at rmartin@riverkeeper.org or 845/750-7295. \nAbout Grandmother Carole:\nCarole has Penobscot lineage through her mom’s mother but was not raised in the tribe. Her grandmother did teach her at least one prayer and possibly other cultural rituals but never explained them as cultural heritage. In her 30s\, Carole found an old family Bible that told the truth. She learned more of her Grandmother’s story and began a path of reclamation. At the age of 35\, she began to decolonize her ways of thinking and being. “As a mother of two and grandmother of four\, I came to honor the Elders in my life who have chosen to see my heart and share knowledge and lifeways with me along this journey we call life. When Sacred Pipes were passed to me\, I learned that their teachings are in fact responsibilities to the People: to the Seven Generations coming up behind me. Bundles are not things\, they are responsibilities. “I have been honored to have many teachers along the ?ha?kú Lúta (Red Road) and began walking the Wiwá?ya?g Wa?hípi (Sundance) way of life in 1999.” Carole is a Pipe Carrier and Bundle Keeper. Carole was taken to the Water while on her Hanblecheya (vision quest). In 2011\, she danced her last Sundance and began her journey for the SacredWater. Inspired by the Water Walks of Grandmother Josephine Mandamin and the words and work of Grandmothers Mona Polacca and Agnus Pilgrim\, Carol took up the call of Grandmother Mona Polacca for all women to come back to the Water. Carole walks to help heal the SacredWater and rebuild the human-to-water connection. \nAbout Riverkeeper:\nRiverkeeper’s mission is to protect the environmental\, recreational and commercial integrity of the Hudson River and its tributaries\, and to safeguard the drinking water of nine million New York City and Hudson Valley residents Riverkeeper focuses on three overarching problems facing Hudson River communities: Restoration of the Hudson River ecosystem\, with particular emphasis on minimizing fish kills and water pollution; Protection of New York City’s drinking water supply; and Improving public access to the Hudson River. \nAbout Jon Bowermaster/ Oceans 8 Films:\nWriter\, filmmaker and adventurer\, Jon is the executive producer of Oceans 8 Films. A six-time grantee of the National Geographic Expeditions Council and one of the Society’s ‘Ocean Heroes\,’ his first assignment for National Geographic Magazine was documenting a 3\,741 mile crossing of Antarctica by dogsled. Jon has written a dozen books and produced/directed more than fifteen documentary films.

SUMMARY:2019 Pulitzer Conference: Beyond Religion
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, the Pulitzer Center’s annual conference spotlights some of our best journalism projects in leading news outlets to explore a theme that illuminates the most pressing issues of our time. With our in-depth\, prize-winning journalism as the focus\, we bring together diverse perspectives on reporting and how global issues affect us at home. \nThis year we’re exploring  the intersection of religion with climate change\, global health\, conflict and peacebuilding\, gender rights\, fundamentalism\, and much more. Join us for a conversation with journalists\, policymakers\, academics\, and other experts. \nBeyond Religion and the Pulitzer Center’s reporting and outreach on religion is supported by the Henry Luce Foundation. Additional related reporting and outreach is supported by Humanity United (Peace and Conflict)\, the MacArthur Foundation\, Omidyar Network (Property Rights)\, The Rockefeller Foundation\, and individual donors dedicated to raising awareness of critical global issues. \nCEE’s Original Caretakers Program Director\, Mindahi Bastida Munoz\, will participate in a panel discussion on Religion and the Environment with Tiokasin Ghosthorse and Kalyanee Mam.  Details below. \nPanel 3: Religion & The Environment \nThis fall\, a special Synod of Bishops for the Pan-Amazonian region will examine evangelical approaches to climate change in the region.This reflects a growing movement within the Catholic church to take on issues related to land use\, biodiversity\, and rights of indigenous people. Meanwhile indigenous voices from the Amazon and globally–including here in the United States–have been leading voices in the struggle to respect and protect the environments they have long called home. What can we learn from these “guardians of the earth”? How do other religions intersect with the environment? And what is the potential for interfaith collaboration in the protection of our planet? \nModerator: Mary Evelyn Tucker\, Co-Director\, Forum on Religion and Ecology\, Yale University \nPanelists: \n\nKalyanee Mam\,* filmmaker\, lawyer and storyteller\, “Fight for Areng Valley” featured on New York Times Op-Docs\nTiokasin Ghosthorse\, speaker on peace\, indigenous and Mother Earth perspectives\, Cheyenne River Lakota Nation of South Dakota\nMindahi C.

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
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Robin Wall Kimmerer as she helps us rethink\, reimagine and\, renarrate our relationship to the sacred and the natural world. Can the objective\, data-driven approach of science be enriched by non-anthropocentric spiritual worldviews? As a botanist and a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation\, Dr. Kimmerer draws on both indigenous wisdom and scientific knowledge to enrich and animate our understanding of the natural world. This expansive way of seeing and relating to creation privileges regeneration and reciprocity\, and offers novel solutions for ecological restoration and climate change resilience. \nDr. Kimmerer will be joined in conversation with Union faculty member John Thatamanil\, and Geraldine Ann Patrick Encina\, Scholar in Residence for Union’s Center for Earth Ethics. \n**WATCH video of the event here**\nAbout Robin Wall Kimmerer:\nDr. Kimmerer is a mother\, plant ecologist\, writer and SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse\, New York. She serves as the founding Director of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment whose mission is to create programs which draw on the wisdom of both indigenous and scientific knowledge for our shared goals of sustainability. Her research interests include the role of traditional ecological knowledge in ecological restoration and the ecology of mosses.
