Reflections on a Contemplative Ecology Event

Reflections on a Contemplative Ecology Event

This public conversation with Douglas Christie culminates the retreat led by him, Cultivating a Sense of Place: The Practice of Contemplative Ecology, and as such widens out the conversation about contemplation as a way to respond to environmental issues and concerns. Douglas, an academic theologian, writer and contemplative explores the historical roots of the Christian contemplative tradition, engages Benedictine spirituality more deeply, teaches and leads practices and invites participants to lean into the power of a contemplative ecology for our shared life together and shared commitment to care for the earth.
