Members of First Unitarian Church, Albuquerque; Albuquerque Mennonite, Laudato Si Movement, Loredo; and others from El Paso, Los Lunas and Albuquerque participated with Interfaith Power and Light and Citizens Caring for the Future in an Immersion Retreat experience March 23-25 in the Permian Basin, New Mexico. They prayed, reflected, listened to frontline community members in Carlsbad, Jal, and Hobbs and committed to deeper solidarity and action with neighbors in the Permian to address methane pollution, economic inequity and worker concerns and climate change.  IPL offers these experience a few times throughout the year. The next ones will be in the fall.

This is our first Seasonal sharing. (We will have a sharing quarterly around at the change of each season}. In the Spring or 2023, we began the evening with Lisa Leahigh, a nurse for students at UNM, who is a Buddhist and studying eco-chaplaincy with Upaya Center in Santa Fe. She offered a short sharing and led us in a meditation. Then Sister Joan Brown, Executive Director of NM & El Paso IPL, offered an overview of our work during the legislative session, National advocacy, educational and Cool Congregation programs.
