Islands of Belonging and “Reindigenizing” in a Sea of Trauma

War and the Environment is a six-week online course with a strong emphasis on reflective practice, collaborative learning, and community building throughout. As wars, preparations for wars, and environmental destruction escalate—and much of the focus remains on human conflict—it is vital to better understand and respond to the far-reaching impacts of war and militarism on people, all living beings, and the planet. This course empowers you to do just that.

As part of our Women's Leadership series, poet, novelist, essayist, storyteller, teacher, healer and medicine woman, Deena Metzger, will speak with us about ways to be with what is happening in the world currently, including reflecting on the recent California wildfires.

In these turbulent times, when the relentless news cycle and political and environmental unrest pressures leave us unsettled, we invite you to join our March group meditation, a space to root ourselves in the present. This session is an invitation to fully engage with the unfolding moment, cultivating mindfulness and transforming despair into active hope.
