Brought to you by TiLT [Taos Initiative for Life Together]

OFFERING ONE

Register here

This two-part experience is designed to be “information leading to transformation,” meaning response and action will be expected. Facilitators will provide rich resources so that participants can dive deeper and be ready to respond the next week to the question: How might this information inspire me to make changes in my life and community?

SESSION ONE, 5-7pm Thursday May 6 on Zoom: Todd Wynward and Daniel ‘Ryno’ Herrera of TiLT will offer a multi-media presentation full of inspirational ideas for innovative action.

Learn from their experience how a deep commitment to spirit-led place-based living can give us a place to stand, transform our tastebuds, launch creative community economics, build trust across divisions, teach us to treat our region as rabbi, and give us spiritual and social tools to weather tough times.

SESSION TWO, 5-7pm Thursday May 13 on Zoom: is for Participant Response. Selected practitioners will speak in the first half, respond to last week’s content and share inspiring ways that they already live as people of place. Then in the second half, other participants will share their responses to the material, offer possible actions, and identify next steps.

Kiss the Ground

/in /by

Order a dvd of Kiss the Ground to view at home or share with your congregation in a Covid-safe manner during Faith Climate Action Week, April 16 – 25. The film educates about IPL’s #faithclimateactionweek theme Sacred Ground: Cultivating Connections between Food, Faith, and Climate. It’s about a solution to climate change that’s right beneath our feet – healthy soil and its ability to sequester carbon on a large scale. “It’s not about religion or politics, it’s about love (of the earth) ―and if you love something or somebody you want to understand them, take care of them, protect them, and keep them safe. That’s what we’re all here to do.” – Maria Rodale. Purchase the film here.

Haaland Executive Orders Prioritize Action on Climate Change, Favor Health Over Fossil Fuels

/in /by

WASHINGTON, D.C. —  Interior Secretary Haaland today issued two executive orders prioritizing action on climate change and revoking Trump administration policies promoting fossil fuel development over the health of communities and the outdoors. The orders ensure that the social cost of carbon and other climate pollution is considered in decision making, and instructs agencies within the Department of the Interior not to adhere to the Trump-era regulations implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). They also focus on economic justice and a just transition for communities most reliant on fossil fuels.
