Sacred Citizenship: Native American Spirituality and Care for the Earth in a Time of Climate Change

press release: Holy Wisdom Monastery is hosting a series of programs (April 10, May 1, October 9, October 30, 2018) designed to explore the interface between politics and the spiritual convictions that undergird our commitment to peace, justice and equality. Regardless of whether we identify with a particular religious tradition, being a person of faith in today’s politically divisive climate means honoring our responsibilities to one another, the environment, our country and our world. Come for one or more sessions.

Speakers for this event include Tia Nelson and Kathy Heskin

Tia Nelson is internationally recognized for her work on climate change. She served 17 years with The Nature Conservancy, including serving as the first director of its global Climate Change Initiative.

Kathy Heskin is an adjunct professor at Edgewood College and teaches a course on Native American spirituality and care for the earth. She also works extensively with tribal communities in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Montana.
