SUMMARY:Learning the Mesoamerican legacy of being in harmony with nature: A workshop and talk with Dr. Mindahi Bastida
DESCRIPTION:The heritage and legacy from many Mesoamerican traditional cultures and indigenous communities have often been overlooked in today’s environmental curricula. \nThe goal of this workshop in partnership with the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies (F&ES) the Latin American SIG\, the Environmental Media and Arts SIG (EMAS) and the Grounded SIG is to offer Mesoamerican native peoples traditions to environment students\, to enrich their understanding of native people’s contributions to “heal the planet”. \nDuring the workshop\, Dr. Mindahi Bastida will talk about the differences and commonalities of Mesoamerican peoples that for years have helped them live in harmony with nature\, and there will also be an opportunity to tie theoretical knowledge with sensory activities by experimenting with ocarinas\, in order to help participants reconnect to the sounds of the earth\, and work towards the common goal of caring for our planet. \nRegister Now \n\nFood: Lunch\n\n\nHost\n\n\nGROUNDED SIG\nSpecialization: Nature and Society\nLatin American (LA SIG)\n\n\n\nContact\nJavier Gonzalez Rivero — 4752090909

SUMMARY:WORKING THROUGH ANCESTRAL KARMA
DESCRIPTION:We inherit more than our DNA from family—we gain habitual patterns\, particular ways of relating to money and time\, and perhaps even ancestral karma. Join leadership coach and author Hylke Faber in conversation with Buddhist teacher Miles Neale as they discuss how a relationship with our authentic nature can transcend our sometimes wonderful and sometimes messy inheritance. \nHylke’s family have been farmers in the northern part of the Netherlands for generations. He argues that part of what connects us back to our authentic state is the memory that our ancestors lived with a deep connection to nature. We can further reclaim our true nature by seeing through our fear-driven conditioning\, which Hylke calls our “crocodiles” in his recent book Taming Your Crocodiles: Unlearn Fear & Become a True Leader. Miles argues that what we do now has been influenced by the past but will also affect the future\, on an individual\, societal\, and environmental level. Learn to work through family karma from a place of genuine connection by joining these two great teachers for one fantastic night. \nA book signing featuring Hylke Faber’s Taming Your Crocodiles: Unlearn Fear & Become a True Leader and Miles Neale’s Gradual Awakening: The Tibetan Buddhist Path of Becoming Fully Human will follow the program. \n*** \nKARMA: ANCIENT WISDOM MEETS THE FUTURE Series at the Rubin Museum\n\nSomewhere between inventing the wheel and rocketing to Mars\, it seems that humanity has lost its ability to see the world as an interdependent enterprise\, with humans\, animals\, trees\, earth\, sun\, moon\, and the stars karmically intertwined in ecological intimacy. \nIn a series of conversations\, screenings\, and performances\, our Future Fellow Karenna Gore draws on a diverse set of wisdom and spiritual traditions to provide us with a rich source of ethical values. It is only through this non-anthropocentric worldview that is respectful of nature and compassionate to all forms of life that we can forge a sustainable future.

SUMMARY:MARIANNE WILLIAMSON + KARENNA GORE: METAPHYSICS AND THE PUBLIC SQUARE
DESCRIPTION:Cultural critic and best selling author Marianne Williamson talks with Rubin Museum Future Fellow and CEE Director\, Karenna Gore to explore how we can shift our civic conversation so that we are “watering the roots and not merely the leaves.” \nQuestions abound: \n\nWhat metaphysical healing needs to happen for us to move into a better phase of America? One that reconciles clashing narratives\, calls on us to be engaged as citizens rather than consumers?\nDoes the matter/spirit divide in Judeo-Christian traditions have anything to do with the fact that so many Americans do not perceive themselves as interconnected with land\, water\, air and other aspects of what we call “the environment”?\nDo gendered constructs of God the Father and Mother Nature matter?\nAre conventional definitions and metrics of “the economy” adequate?\nHow do we draw from the best of the world’s wisdom and faith traditions for this task without appropriating or being overly superficial so as to lose their deep meaning and power?\n\n_________ \nTickets: $35.00\nMember Receive a Discount \nFor more information: http://rma.cm/2q1

SUMMARY:Indigenous People's Day Viewing of the Doctrine of Discovery
DESCRIPTION:For two years\, the Center for Earth Ethics has prioritized studying and understanding the Doctrine of Discovery and it’s long standing consequences. We offer screenings of “Unmasking the Domination Code” with Q&A guided by CEE Team members and Special Guests for Union Seminary and at public events. Please inquire if you would like to request one for your community or congregation. \n*** \nIndigenous People’s Day Offering: \nThe Center for Earth Ethics at Union is sponsoring a film showing of the Doctrine of Discovery. This is a set of laws based on the Papal Bulls from the Catholic Church of the fifteen century. These edicts gave European Christians the right to invade non Christian lands and subdue the people\, making legitimate colonial occupation. \nOn Monday\, October 8th\, we are recognizing Indigenous People’s Day by showing this film. This is history which impacts Native people\, and still affects their sovereignty to this day. Please join us! The film will be shown in Room AD30 at Union Theological Seminary at 5:30 pm. Pizza will be provided.

SUMMARY:Pualani Case + Karenna Gore -The Original Instructions
DESCRIPTION:We are living in extraordinary times – deeply challenging times for the survival of life on earth. Yet emerging at this time are channels of information\, offering all kinds of doorways to a better understanding of how all life is inextricably connected. We are learning that people can connect across space and time in ways we would never have thought possible.\n\n\n\n\n\nBearers of this living ancestral wisdom – what some call “The Original Instructions” are among us\, and it is urgent that we pay attention to this message for humanity.\n\n\nIn this first program in the Karma series\, Karenna Gore looks at two channels of wisdom transmission. With Native Hawaiian Pua Case whose relationship to a sacred mountain has informed her teachings of traditional knowledge and ways; and with Shamanic Healing author Itzhak Beery who relates a dramatic example of a Midwestern woman finding herself being able to speak in an Amazonian language she does not understand\, relaying a message privileged only to shamans. Hawaiian singer/songwriter Häwane Rios will join Pua on stage for a concluding performance.\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n***\nPualani Case was born and raised on the Island of Hawai’i surrounded by high mountains and fresh waters. Pua’s life path has led her to become a Kumu Hula\, a teacher of the ways\, culture\, and traditions of the kanaka maoli\, or native peoples of Hawai’i. With a degree in Hawaiian Language and culture\, and a teaching degree in Social Studies\, interwoven with the traditional teachings from her kupuna\, or elders\, Pua has integrated ‘Ike Hawai’i\, or Hawaiian knowledge and lessons\, into the public school system and community for over 30 years. She and ‘ohana\, or family\, are active as spiritual and cultural leaders\, and have traveled around the world to address the challenges facing sacred places and lifeways of the people of HawaiʻI and beyond. These include the movement to protect the sacred mountain Mauna Kea on the Island of Hawai’i\, efforts to restore salmon to the McCloud River in New Zealand\, and the Standing Rock protests in North Dakota.

SUMMARY:International Rights of Nature Symposium – 10 Year Anniversary of Rights of Nature in Ecuador’s Constitution
DESCRIPTION:CEE’s Mindahi Bastida will participate in this event to commemorate Ecuador’s 10th anniversary for Rights of Nature and to examine and expand the Rights of Nature movement around the world. \nIn 2008\, Ecuador\, one of the most environmentally diverse places on Earth\, became the first country in the world to recognize that nature is not an object to exploit\, but a subject to respect and protect. Now\, ten years after adopting Rights of Nature into its national Constitution\, Ecuador offers an important case study for the global Rights of Nature movement. As the Rights of Nature movement takes hold around the world\, from New Zealand to Colombia to India to Sweden and beyond\, Ecuador offers critical lessons for the global movement. \nThe Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature (GARN) is organizing an international symposium September 27th and 28th to not only celebrate 10 years of Rights of Nature in Ecuador but to bring together Rights of Nature leaders from across the globe to share experiences and ideas\, evaluate successes and failures of Rights of Nature laws\, cases\, and judgements\, and to build solidarity and strategies for strengthening and growing the Rights of Nature movement in the years ahead. \nWe hope you will join us in Quito\, Ecuador for the Symposium (Sept. 27-28) and hear from Rights of Nature leaders\, frontline communities\, and Indigenous peoples who are working to protect their homes\, their way of life and the environment by adopting Rights of Nature. We also invite you to join us for the Round-table that will follow on September 29th.

SUMMARY:#OurPowerPRnyc
DESCRIPTION:Join the Center for Earth Ethics in standing with our brothers and sisters of #OurPowerPRnyc on September 20th for a Just Recovery for Puerto Rico. \n#OurPowerPRnyc Statement \nSeptember 20th will mark one year since Hurricane Maria landed on Puerto Rico. What we have seen in that time amounts to no less than a humanitarian crisis and mass violation of human rights. This has been fueled by a long legacy of colonialism and extraction; a sadistic federal administration committed to racism\, subjugation\, and austerity; and the deepening climate crisis wreaking havoc on low-income communities\, communities of color\, and the Global South.\n\nOn September 20th\, #OurPowerPRnyc will be holding a community gathering in New York City to commemorate the landing of Hurricane Maria\, to look back on the events of last year\, to uplift the acts of resistance and resilience carried out on the island\, and to ask the question “Where are we now?”\n\nWe recognize that our sisters and brothers from the island are defined in part by their relentless commitment to social justice. Whether it is a rally for Black Lives Matter\, indigenous rights\, workers’ rights\, or immigration justice\, we have always counted on the people of Puerto Rico to stand with us in solidarity.\n\nThis is a moment to demonstrate our support for our sisters and brothers from the island in a time of both deep crisis and renewed possibility\, in a time when over 3.3 million of our brothers and sisters stand at a crossroads between the forces of disaster capitalism on one hand and a grassroots movement towards a just transition\, people-to-people recovery\, and environmental\, economic\, racial\, and climate justice and sovereignty on the other.  Learn More  \n#OurPowerPRnyc\n#NoToDisasterCapitalism\n#JustRecoveryJustTransition\n#SolidarityWithBorinquen

SUMMARY:Justice First Tour
DESCRIPTION:On August 15th\, the Justice First Tour will come to Birmingham! \nJoin New Alpha Community Development Corporation\, Kingdom Living Temple\, Dogwood Alliance\, Sierra Club\, #Readyfor100\, and local co-hosts for an evening of local speakers\, solution-centered dialogue\, and celebration through art and music. \nSouthern communities are on the frontlines of the climate crisis in the US\, bearing the greatest impacts of an economic system of exploitation that continues to concentrate power and wealth into the hands of a few\, while many people suffer. Across the South\, many of us have risen to address this challenge. Unfortunately\, our very best intentions have often left our movement segmented when it comes to speaking with one unified voice. Now\, more than ever\, we need to come together and unite in one voice for climate justice and stand together to advance long-term solutions that put justice first and lift frontline communities up. \nThe Justice 1st Tour calls for a strong network of grassroots and frontline organizations working together to advance climate justice and forest protection\, with a focus on 100% clean energy for 100% of the people — no more false solutions. To solve the climate crisis\, we need to put Justice 1st. \n***

SUMMARY:CLIMATE CHANGE\, WATER & JUSTICE: OUR CHANGING PLANET AND A MORAL CALL TO ACTION
DESCRIPTION:From Lake Chad to Flint\, MI\, the struggle for clean water has become one of the most pressing justice issues. Hear from an incredible panel about how faith communities can join the fight against ecological exploitation.  \nClick here to RSVP.  \nAl Gore\nFormer Vice President Al Gore is co-founder and chairman of Generation Investment Management. He is a senior partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers\, and a member of Apple\, Inc.’s board of directors. Gore spends the majority of his time as chairman of The Climate Reality Project\, a non-profit organization he founded that is focused on solutions for the global climate crisis. Gore was elected to the US House of Representatives four times from 1976—1982 and to the US Senate in 1984 and 1990. He was inaugurated as the 45th vice president of the United States on January 20\, 1993\, and served eight years. He is the author of several bestsellers including Earth in the Balance\, An Inconvenient Truth\, and most recently\, The Future: Six Drivers of Global Change. He is the subject of an Oscar-winning documentary and was selected as the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate for informing the world of the dangers posed by climate change. Former Vice President Gore was born on March 31\, 1948\, and resides in Nashville\, Tennessee. \nCatherine Coleman Flowers is the founder of the Alabama Center for Rural Enterprise (ACRE).

She also serves as the Rural Development Manager for the Equal Justice Initiative and the Director of Environmental Justice & Civic Engagement (EJCE) at the Center for Earth Ethics at Union Theological Seminary. In addition\, she serves as Duke University’s Franklin Humanities Institute Practitioner in Residence. Her goal is to expose the Third World conditions were rural people live amongst raw sewage. She has characterized this as “America’s Dirty Secret.” \nShe hopes to shepherd a paradigm shift toward sustainability and resiliency in rural communities as well as the development of climate-friendly onsite wastewater technology using renewable energy. The lack of environmental and climate justice in poor rural communities was noted during her 2011 testimony about the raw sewage problem in Lowndes County\, Alabama. It was included in the Report of the Special Rapporteur on the human right to safe drinking water and sanitation to the United Nations Council on Human Rights. In December of 2015 she represented the Center for Earth Ethics in Paris as an official observer at COP 21\, and in 2016 she was chosen to attend the White House Water Summit. In 2017 she invited to Alabama\, the UN’s Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty. He characterized what he saw as “uncommon in the first world. “ Flowers has a Master’s degree in History and recently co-authored a peer reviewed study with scientists from Baylor’s National School of Tropical Medicine that exposed evidence of hookworm and other tropical parasites in the United States. \n  \nSpecial Contributor: \nHindou Oumarou Ibrahim is an indigenous woman from Mbororo pastoralist community of Chad; She is a Coordinator of the Peul Indigenous Women and Peoples Association of Chad (AFPAT) “Association des Femmes Peules et peuples Autochtones du Tchad.

Ministry in the Time of Climate Change requires an open-hearted approach that embodies the diversity of our country and plurality of ideas we’ll need to mitigate the worst effects of the ecological crisis.              \nOn Faith And Water: Ministry in the time of Climate Change May 31- June 2\, 2018 Union Theological Seminary Thursday May 31\, 2018 9:00 AM  Registration and Check-In 9:45 AM  Hastings/121st Street entrance 9:45 AM       \nOpening Ceremony 10:15 AM    Location: Quad or James Chapel Organizer: CEE Team 10:30 AM \nPlenary: Where We Are\, Where We Need to Go  11:45 AM From increased storm severity to crippling droughts\, it is clear the climate is changing\, affecting water systems that all life depends on. In the midst of this change\, fossil fuel interests continue to draw and poison groundwater while fracking\, putting more heat-trapping pollution in the air. There are also efforts to privatize and commoditize water\, even selling it back to the very drought-ridden communities from where it is pumped. What insights and practical solutions do faith communities have to offer to address this? These are the questions that will frame the whole conference. \n\nModerator: Karenna Gore – Center for Earth Ethics\nTiokasin Ghosthorse – First Voices Indigenous Radio\nKartik Chandran – Columbia University\nMariama White-Hammond – Bethel AME Church Boston\n\n 12:00 PM   Lunch – Social Hall 1:45 PM  \nOptional River Walk  1:30 PM    \nOn Faith and Water: Learning from Our Traditions 4:00 PM  During this session we will split into four groups and rotate between four different speakers on topics designed to deepen our understanding of faith and water.

SUMMARY:LEGACIES OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT: LOOKING BACK AND MOVING FORWARD
DESCRIPTION:CEE’s Director of Environmental Justice & Civic Engagement\, Catherine Coleman Flowers to participate in World Water Day panel at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan.  March 22\, 2018 – 5:00pm – 8:00pm \n\n \n\nIn a collaboration with the Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture at Columbia University and Louise Seamster at the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville\, this Detroit panel discussion will consider some of the recent history of Emergency Management in Michigan.\n\nSince the 1980s\, Michigan has been the national epicenter of “emergency management”—a project that allows state governors to declare “financial emergencies” in cities and thereby replace democratically elected officials with appointed emergency financial managers. In the three decades that emergency management has unfolded in Michigan\, its cities have seen the privatization of public institutions\, disinvestment in public infrastructures\, and other acts of violence against the public sphere. Extending long histories of the extraction of labor\, land\, and wealth from communities of color in the United States\, emergency management has been focused on black majority cities; in the last 10 years\, around 52% of Michigan’s African-American residents have been disenfranchised by emergency management as compared to 3% of white Michiganders.\n\nOn December 14\, 2017\, Governor Rick Snyder announced that there were\, at the moment\, no emergency managers governing any of Michigan’s cities. That announcement prompts questions about the ongoing consequences and legacies of emergency management—a project that has become dormant rather than invalidated. What has the impact of emergency management been on Michigan’s cities? What lessons should be learned from these experiences? How can these lessons inform resistance in other spaces of threatened or ongoing dedemocratization?\n\nReception: 5:00pm\n\nPanel Discussion: 6:00pm\nMark Fancher\, Racial Justice Project\, ACLU of Michigan\nCatherine Coleman Flowers: Alabama Center for Rural Enterprise\nShea Howell\, The James and Grace Lee Boggs Center\nHelen Moore\, Keep the Vote\nLouise Seamster\, The University of Tennessee Knoxville\nModerated by: Andrew Herscher\, The University of Michigan\n\nOn Friday\, March 23rd\, a related workshop will be convened in Ann Arbor. This conversation will take up some of the issues presented on Thursday\, considering Emergency Management as not only a local but also a national project\, which engages with systems of infrastructure\, government\, and culture at multiple scales.\n\nThe events are co-sponsored by theTaubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan and the Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture at Columbia University. Image Courtesy of the Overpass Light Brigade.

SUMMARY:They Will Inherit the Earth:  Peace and Nonviolence in a Time of Climate Change with Author John Dear
DESCRIPTION:WE REGRET TO ANNOUNCE THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED AS UNION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY IS CLOSED DUE TO WEATHER!  We hope you will be inspired to read John’s work and enrich your own practice of nonviolence in the world.\n\n\nJOHN DEAR BOOK TOUR [NEW YORK CITY]\n\n\nORGANIZER: Larry Rasmussen \n\n\nVENUE: Union Theological Seminary\n\n\nADDRESS: 3041 Broadway @121st St\n\n\n \n\n\nThey Will Inherit the Earth: Peace and Nonviolence in a Time of Climate Change\, releasing February 2018.\n\n\n \n\n\nIn this landmark work\, author\, activist\, and Nobel peace prize nominee Father John Dear connects the way of active nonviolence with solidarity with Creation\, and shows how our global epidemic of violence and war could only lead to catastrophic climate change. He cites Jesus’ third Beatitude as the basis for his meditation: “Blessed are the meek\, they will inherit the earth.” Thomas Merton said “meekness” was the biblical word for “nonviolence” (in the Gandhi/King sense)\, so Dear reflects how Jesus connected nonviolence with oneness with creation\, how he practiced nonviolence and lived at one with creation\, and how we need to do the same.\n\n\n \n\n\nIn this time of terrifying climate chaos\, John Dear shares his own personal journey from the Upper West Side of Manhattan to the high desert of New Mexico where he now lives off the grid on a remote mesa. He shares his experience serving as a pastor in the mission church at Yosemite; encounters with New Mexican indigenous women who live at one with the earth while resisting nuclear weapons production at Los Alamos; his experience at Standing Rock in North Dakota\, resisting the pipeline; reflections on the work of environmental leader Bill McKibben and Pope Francis’ monumental encyclical on the environment\, Laudato Si; and ends with suggested steps forward into conscious\, mindful solidarity with all creatures and Mother Earth through active\, steadfast nonviolence\, what he calls\, “eschatological nonviolence\,” walking the earth in the footsteps of the nonviolent Jesus into the Kingdom of God.\n\n\n \n\n\nContacts: Tory Field – tf2406@utsnyc.edu // Larry Rasmussen\, lras1939@gmail.com\n\n\n \n\n\nhttp://www.paceebene.org/event/john-dear-book-tour-new-york-city/
