Contemplative Semester

Every Wednesday until January 7 Guardians of the Sacred will be dedicated to the protection of Oak Flat. Oak Flat, Chi’chil Biłdagoteel, is a sacred site for the Western Apache people in Arizona. It is currently in grave danger of being turned over to an international copper mining company.

We invite you not just to talk about the future, but to join us there. We will spend the day dreaming, drawing, drafting delightful designs, and discussing the dramatic distance between our present world and the near future we will be visiting. You can expect the workshop to be active, fun, and engaging—it’s part reflection, part visioning, part theater game, part grief, and part radical hope.

Loka is offering a free 10-week online training experience for faith leaders as part of our mission to support faith-led environmental and climate action. A core objective is to train faith leaders globally to design and manage environmental and climate projects that are specific to their geographies, communities, and faith traditions. Apply by December 22.
