Join our Solstice Gathering as we explore how to live more intentionally within those rhythms.

Dr. Alfredo Sfeir-Younis's 2011 work, What is Sustainable Development? offers a profound redefinition of sustainable development, moving beyond materialistic metrics like GNP/GDP to anchor the concept in ethical and spiritual imperatives. The discourse emphasizes that true sustainability is a way of life defined by interdependence, intergenerational equity, and long-term planning, urging a transcendence of purely economic growth in favor of non-material factors like happiness and security. Achieving global justice and ecological balance requires prioritizing these values, revaluing Indigenous Knowledge (metaphorically, "burning the library"), and essentially integrating Feminine Energy (love, compassion, solidarity) into decision-making as a prerequisite for capacity building.

In this deeply personal reflection, Lauren de Boer traces humanity’s spectacular evolutionary lineage—from stardust to photosynthesis, respiration, and the human hand—toward a renewed faith in life’s creative unfolding. Drawing on Teilhard de Chardin, he names “the great enamorment” as the universe’

Given at St. Ethelburga’s Centre for Reconciliation and Peace in London, this talk by Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee explores how an embodied practice of spiritual ecology is a radical act amid a culture that has forgotten the sacred nature of our relationship with the Earth.

I have been feeling into the new season and observing all that is going on outside my door. In this podcast episode, I share some of what I've learned about Samhain, the neo-Pagan festival, and my own reflections on the season. And turtles. I talk about turtles.

I get it. I do. A fed bear is a dead bear, even when she was fed unintentionally by careless humans. Doesn't mean it doesn't break my heart every time I see a story like this, especially when two orphaned cubs lost their freedom and a third will likely die alone and scared. It's on us humans to do better.
