In partnership with local advisors and with the support of Fetzer Institute, Kalliopeia Foundation, and other anonymous donors, the 2021 Religion & Ecology Online Summit gathers to recognize sacred land stewardship and current ecological initiatives in Native and Indigenous communities of California territories. Indigenous approaches to biocultural stewardship and sacred sites offer insight to the inquiry of Religion and Ecology, which explores how spiritual beliefs and practices affect the natural world.
A series of panel discussions, film screenings, and community forums will explore the biocultural stewardship and restoration work of Native and Indigenous communities through the interconnected areas of food sovereignty, stewardship of ancestral lands, and environmental justice within the broader context of Religion & Ecology. This year's presenters offer diverse perspectives on the theme, bridging worldviews and pedagogies to enrich our exploration of Religion & Ecology through the interconnected areas of food sovereignty, stewardship of ancestral lands, policy, and protection of sacred sites.
Webinars will be hosted on Zoom. Links will be e-mailed to registered guests prior to the event. Register via Eventbrite The registration fee is $10-50. Please pay what you can.
