An invitation to honor each other & Earth through spiritual and indigenous worldviews as vital to our efforts to address the climate crisis.
The Fetzer Institute Environment Collaborative invites you to honor our sacred relationship with the Earth, uniting perspectives for bold climate solutions to address the climate crisis through spiritual and indigenous worldviews.
Together, we will enter a current of spirit that begins from within and flows and grows among us in shared ceremony and dialogue, reflection, encounter and purpose throughout the day. We will celebrate and explore the sacred spirit that connects us to each other, all living beings, and our Earth while honoring the grief and joy, struggle and courage that accompany our work.
Through mediation and dialogue, music and movement, and evidence-based stories of transformation, we will discover how spirituality and ancient wisdom are vital forces for meaningful climate action.
Together, we will deepen our relationships, chart practical pathways of change, and generate authentic collaborations that emanate from spirit and manifest into effective climate solutions that are necessary for a just, loving and compassionate future.

Arrival, Registration, and Breakfast
Meet us in the The Lee Bollinger Forum for the headwaters of our day together. The morning starts from inner spirit, flowing into sacred relationship with Earth and each other, emanating within and among ourselves, and then in greater engagement with the community gathered here, and then shared experience through collective song and dance. The purpose of our time together will be to kindle and inspire within all participants the divine spirit of love and compassion for each other, all living beings and our Earth. We believe this emanates from within, before illuminating among each other so profoundly as to be carried forth with courage and conviction into the world.
