Fall 2024 COURSE FULL
This introductory course in Contemplation and Care for Creation is facilitated by members of the Center for Deep Green Faith who believe that the root cause of the environmental crises we face is spiritual in nature. When we are estranged from God’s presence in the world around us and from nature, we harm the planet we call home. This certificate course draws on the age-old resources of orthodox Christianity for the spiritual connections to God’s creation that heal and renew both humanity and creation. Using the contemplative exercises found in Living In An Icon (Robert Gottfried & Frederick W. Krueger), our cohort will gather via Zoom to share our experiences of growing closer to God and creation through time spent in contemplation of nature.
