"Cultivating Placefulness: Why We Need a Contemplative Ecology in Troubled Times"

Jason Brown
Public Lecture
December 6, 2022
Jason is keenly focused on PLACEfulness, mutuality with other species, "eco-spiritual" activism, and the presence of a spiritual foundation in addressing the climate emergency in which we currently live. He will engage us in a conversation that includes the evolution of the "Holyscapes" project-an exploration of the inner and outer landscapes we inhabit, explore, and call home, spaces where we find the convergence of place, ecology, and spirituality.
