No one can deny our planet is in peril. More than ever, we need the brilliance of everyone from scholars to organizers, from clergy to artists, from farmers to scientists—and knowledge and skills aren’t the only skills critical to addressing the crisis we collectively face. We are called to new ways of perceiving our situation and of relating to ourselves, one another, and the living earth.

This gathering will be a nourishing space to be present with the reality of our times: the overwhelm and the possibility, the complexity and the creativity. Through listening, reflective discussion, and dynamic exercises, we will discover how to cultivate radical hope and inner resilience in the face of uncertainty, together. 

In partnership with the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies and Yale Divinity School.
