SUMMARY:Plant Wisdom and Ecological Consciousness Class at Union Theological Seminary
DESCRIPTION:In this time of ecological and social distress\, this guided reading\, given by the Center for Earth Ethics staff\, aims to support students in discovering and reviving our spiritual connection to the Earth. Please inquire if you would like to request a workshop or medicinal plant walk for your community or congregation. \n*** \nPast Offering: \nCEE is offering a 1 credit course for the Spring 2019 semester at Union Theological Seminary beginning February \nTeaching team: Center or Earth Ethics staff including: Karenna Gore\, Poppy Jones\, Geraldine Ann Patrick Encina\, Mindahi Crescencio Bastida Muñoz\, Tory Field \nDescription: In this time of ecological and social distress\, this guided reading\, given by the Center for Earth Ethics staff\, aims to support students in discovering and reviving our spiritual connection to the Earth. We will focus on learning from plants as a path of perception\, connection\, and healing – for ourselves\, each other\, and the planet. We will be exploring the topic through texts (for example Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom\, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants\, and Figs\, Dates\, Laurel and Myrhh: Plants of the Bible and the Quran)\, in conversation with guest speakers\, and in weekly personal practice and written reflection. We will learn directly from the plants by participating in outdoor walks in nearby parks and making plant based medicine\, such as salves\, teas\, and tinctures. We hope that students will leave the course with an ongoing relationship with plants that will enrich their life and work. This is a 1 credit guided reading course. \nSchedule (to meet in CEE office or elsewhere to be announced): Wed. February 13th\, 2-4 pm Wed. February 27th\, 2-4 pm Wed. March 6th\, 2-4 pm Wed.

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:Justice in Nature: Questions of Place\, Space and Planetary Survival (Part II)
DESCRIPTION:Leading questions for the presentation on Planetary Survival:\n1. From social justice to climate justice\, how did we get here? \n2. People or Polar Bears\, do we have a choice? \nKey words to be discussed throughout the night will consist of: the outdoors\, lived environments and built environments. \nPlease join us for a conversation with Dr. Gregory Simpson – who holds a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry and master degrees in Theology – as we make connections between our personal choices and protection of outdoor spaces. The goal is to realize how our choices are tied directly to planetary survival! Come with curiosity and with questions\, this is a safe space to ask them. \n**Featured Non-Profit: Center for Earth Ethics \nGeraldine Patrick Encina and Petra Thombs will speak about the ongoing work of CEE for the healing and balancing of Mother Earth. \nFood: Foragers Market \nDrinks will be provided! \nDoors: 7PM \nPanel Start: 7:30PM (followed by a q&a) \nDr. Simpson\, who holds a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry and master degrees in Theology\, brings a wealth of experience and skills in program development and organizational restructuring for STEM programs in high school and undergraduate institutions\, as well as in basic medical science curriculum development for medical degree programs. Dr. Simpson has trained and mentored high school\, undergraduate\, and medical students with individual research projects\, and he has consulted with many students over the past 35 years to motivate and inspire them to reach their academic and professional goals. With his experience and expertise\, Dr. Simpson oversees all consulting relating to STEM and to medicine. Of particular interest to Dr. Simpson is how to uplift students to become leaders in STEM fields efficaciously. \n  \nThis event is part of Patagonia NYC’s #GrowTheOutdoors series. At Patagonia\, we’re in business to save our home planet. Through business\, our investments\, our voice\, and our friends\, we are looking to support and elevate as many environmental activists as possible. This event series looks to expand and support all the nature warriors out there (and hopefully inspire a few new ones!) by bolstering diversity and inclusion in the outdoors. Join us for one of these events\, lend your voice to help to turn the tide on climate change\, and help move the conversation forward—together. \nAll Hands in Motion ASL translators will be joining for the entirety of the event. \n  \nPhoto By: Andy Lu
