Beyond Fear or Optimism

This program is a community exploration of what we’re feeling and holding in these times, with the intention of deepening our individual and collective capacity for wise and committed response. We will honour our deep love for the earth, expressing that love through engagement, care and the willingness to show up.

The program will feature Mercy Sister Rosita Sidasmed of Argentina and Franciscan Rodrigo Peret of Brazil sharing the priorities for climate justice coming out of the Global South and how civil society hopes to influence the formal negotiations.

On the Global Day of Listening, people across the world will pause—alone or together—to listen for the wisdom needed to meet this moment. By turning our attention to the Earth, to one another, and to what life is asking of us, we help seed a shift toward reverence and sacred responsibility. Take the pledge.
