We are thrilled to announce that One Earth Collective is partnering with the Annual Environment & Spirituality Summit this year! This special event, hosted by our friends at Faith in Place—the IL, IN, and WI affiliate of Interfaith Power and Light—takes place from September 22-24. It offers a unique hybrid experience with all sessions available on Zoom and local keynote watch parties hosted in IL, IN, and WI. You can view the watch party locations here.
Immerse yourself in five inspiring sessions that align with this year’s theme: Grounded & Engaged. Each session will feature a guest speaker exploring the connection between spirituality, the environment, and social justice. Learn more about our speakers, including Dr. Melanie Harris, Gopal Patel, Hilary Giovale, and Rabbi Ora Nitkin-Kaner here.
Lama Rod Owens will lead the keynote session on Sunday, September 22, titled "Embracing Earth, Embracing Self: EcoDharma and the Path to Liberation". Lama Rod, an international influencer with a Master of Divinity degree in Buddhist Studies from Harvard Divinity School, focuses his work on freedom, self-expression, radical self-care, and caring for the Earth. As he beautifully puts it, "The heart that breaks open can contain the whole universe," reminding us that our compassion and care for the planet can grow from our personal healing.
