Friends of the Living Earth Youth Dialogues,
We are excited to announce the next Living Earth Youth Dialogue: Sharing From the Heart! For our November 1st, Oliver Mesmer will speak on
The Living Earth Community and the Human Soul
Friday, November 1, 2024 from 6:00–7:30 pm PDT
Sharing From the Heart is a monthly initiative where young people from China and the United States come together around the pressing ecological, cultural, and spiritual issues of our time. Through sharing thoughts, personal stories, and actions in local settings, Chinese and American youth will begin building cross-cultural bonds to support a vision of a new, ecological civilization.
In this workshop, Oliver Mesmer will explore what it means to be a part of a living community of sentient beings—a community of many species within the diverse kingdoms of life. His presentation will focus on what he has learned in his research with the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology on topics such as the differentiated sentience of the more-than-human world, as well as ecological spirituality. Oliver will invite us into a discussion on how we might orient our perception, our actions, and even our lives around the paradigm that we each inhabit a particular niche within a global interdependent ecosystem.
WHEN:
Beijing time:Saturday 9-10:30 AM
USA Time Friday 6:00 to 7:30 PM
Language: English and Chinese
