Caring for Common Ground

Interfaith ecological restoration training at Holy Wisdom Monastery

People from different religious traditions and spiritual practices are invited to learn together how to do ecological restoration that helps to heal the land, and to share how their faith perspectives inform their care for the environment. Join and become part of an interfaith restoration community of practice!

Workshop Topics:

• Concepts of ecological restoration, including hands-on skills for planning and implementing a restoration project
• Activities for engaging others in ecological education and restoration practice
• Dialogue about intersections of faith, ethics, and environmental care

We Welcome Participants Who:

• Are interested in taking land care action
• Are willing to share from their faith perspectives and learn from the sharing of others
• Commit to attending the workshop and putting into practice what they learn through initiating a restoration or volunteering with an ongoing project
