This program is offered at no cost. Contributions to support the work of The BTS Center’s Climate Conscious Chaplaincy Initiative will be received with gratitude.
Chaplains who ground their work in the healing power of being in relationship with Earth particularly a climate-changed Earth are shaping a new field of practice: climate conscious chaplaincy.
As the real effects of the climate crisis are felt across all nations and peoples, there is such great need for responsive, skilled, compassionate spiritual care to address the short-term and longterm needs of those who are, and will be, affected by these new realities. The conditions to which we must adapt, and the changed landscapes of which we must make sense, require adjusted spiritual understandings for each of us, as well as the support that will enable us to make those adjustments.
But what exactly is “The Work”? Our presenter, Lauren Van Ham, has asked and answered this question for herself in roles as varied as our society itself: working with multi-national corporations and non-profit organizations; teaching, coaching and mentoring; and creating ceremonies, prayers, and writings.
Lauren will join us for this special conversation about the work of chaplaincy rooted in relationship with Earth in these times of crisis and change.
