The Thomas Merton Center

Environmental Justice Committee invites you to

 

“What On Earth?”

 

Sunday, September 23, 2012

2 to 5 p.m.

Friends Meeting House

4836 Ellsworth Avenue (Oakland)

 

 

What on Earth have you been thinking about, dreaming about, working on? What on this awesome earth does this mean to your community, your family, your culture? The Thomas Merton Center’s new Environmental Justice Committee would love to know.

We believe it is possible to shift from an industrial growth society to one that is life sustaining. And we invite you to join us on this journey as we reorganize ourselves, both cognitively and spiritually, to bring about what Joanna Macy calls the Great Turning.

Please join us for What On Earth?, an afternoon of fun, creativity and sharing.

We hope you will bring

·         your vision, energy, creativity and enthusiasm for environmental justice

·         an idea and/or brief story about something you are personally doing to reconnect with nature and shift our direction

·         a musical instrument, maybe a drum, or words to your favorite songs about the natural world

·         handouts about what your environmental group is doing

·         a favorite finger food to share, if you wish

But with or without these things, come!  Children are most welcome.

 

Please RSVP to  patBud...@gmail.com  or  412-441-6593.

The Environmental Justice Committee is one of four committees generated by

the Thomas Merton Center. We believe that the health of the Earth Community is the primary responsibility of every person, every community and every nation.
