What we’re about
Welcome to the Environment + Spirituality! 🌿
We are a community of seekers who believe that caring for the Earth and tending to the spirit are deeply interconnected. This group is a safe, supportive space to connect with others wherever you are on your spiritual journey.
Together, we explore spiritual practices rooted in nature and Earth wisdom, nourishing both our inner lives and our relationships with the living world around us. Through creative and contemplative practices, we deepen our sense of belonging to the Earth and to each other.
In the face of climate and environmental challenges, we come together to ground, orient, and strengthen one another. Drawing on ecospiritual traditions, we seek to uncover and share the unique gifts each of us carries—gifts that become even more powerful when joined in community.
If you’re longing for connection, inspiration, and a way to weave spirituality and Earth-care into your life, you are warmly invited to join us.
— Lanny, Lisanne, Megan, and Natasha
What to expect at our meetings:
Each Wednesday of the month, we meet from 7-8 pm Central for a lesson/meditation, with 8-8:30 pm Central for optional Environment and Spirituality discussion, reflection, and social time. We rotate through several formats:
📖 Week 1: Contemplation and discussion led by Lanny
✍️ Week 2: Sacred Writing led by Lisanne
👂 Week 3: Meditation and listening practices led by Megan

(sometimes these weekly themes switch depending on group leader availability, see events for updated info)
This autumn, we will be exploring themes and practices from the book Ecospirituality for Beginners: Connecting the Sacred and the Natural World by Anara Sarygul. While this book will be guiding our topics and discussions, you do not need to read it to join in!
