Please tell us about your work, passions and/or talents with respect to the climate or justice movement | I am a poet and educator. I am a founding member of Women Included, a transnational feminist network. I have been part of the local sangha for a decade. We meet every week to discuss buddhist teachings as well as other spiritual books. I also lead a chanting group, and have taught chanting to kids for many years. |
What is your past experience with trauma/stress healing? | I have been offering writing workshops to breast cancer patients for the last few years. I use writing and chanting to heal. Plus yantra drawing practice. |
What are your goals for participating in this course? | I wish to understand how I can care for the earth despite living in a society where I am dependent on material goods that use up the earth’s resources. I also want to know how to communicate the connection between violence to the earth as violence to women and marginalized groups. |
What are some communities you’re a part of that might benefit from what you would be learning in this course? | My organization Women included would benefit. My students in college would benefit greatly from material from this course. |
