ART, EARTH & ETHICS
September 5 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
We’re living at a time when it’s hard to feel our connections to each other and the planet. Hotter temperatures, fiercer storms, disrupted communities. How can we work together to recognize and build upon our radical interconnectedness, ethically, ecologically, faithfully?
Join the Garrett community and collaborators for an artist talk and workshop with Dr. Cara Judea Alhadeff, a Mother, Artist, Author, Professor, Action-Philosopher, Environmental-Justice Organizer.
SEPTEMBER 5, 4-6pm: Welcome the Stranger: Interreligious Lessons from Zazu Dreams: Artist Talk
SEPTEMBER 6, 4-6pm: Collective Spiritual Intelligence: An Intimate Guide to Living Our Eco-Ethics: Workshop
More about the artist talk: Welcome the Stranger: Interreligious Lessons from Zazu Dreams: Artist Talk
By illuminating the intersections of history, geography, ethics, and symbiosis between biodiversity, religious, and ethnic diversity, the book (and accompanying art for) Zazu Dreams explores how we can transform our petroleum-addicted convenience culture to individual and collective ancient technologies and biophilia (or the love of life).
More about the workshop: Collective Spiritual Intelligence: An Intimate Guide to Living Our Eco-Ethics
This workshop will offer participants opportunities to recognize the value of re-“discovering” our innate capacities to think beyond the habitual, thus expanding the possibilities of living our spiritual intelligence, our radical interconnectedness. We will ask how specific biblical ethics of co-implication (empathy and somatic attunement) can develop a profound sense of individual agency and how that empowerment can lead to creative response-ability through collective/collaborative eco-social, spiritual justice.
Both events will happen at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary in Room 205 at 2121 Sheridan Rd., Evanston, IL . Co-sponsored by the Center for Ecological Regeneration, the Stead Center, Garrett Art Committee, GreenFaith, Faith in Place, and the Garrett Collective
