From Composting to Co-Creation
We live in a world of beauty and joy, but also in turbulent times with suffering among humans and in all of nature. Green spirituality reminds us that creation and transformation are part of the journey and that we can unfold into every moment: how can we co-create with nature?

Samhain Celebration – online
Monday 28th October 2024 – 19:00
At our Samhain Celebration we prepare for the autumnal descent into the winter darkness. We honour our Ancestors, those who have gone before us. We remember our loved ones who have passed away, so maybe bring a photo of someone you would particularly like to remember. If you would like to please bring seasonal reflections or tell us a bit about your ancestors.
See the facebook post or the September newsletter for full details.

Book Reviews
A Beginner’s Guide to Dying by Simon Boas
The majority of the book is made up of a section he calls ‘Death and Equanimity’ in which he explores areas such as perspective, gratitude, God and religion, hope and acceptance, optimism, regrets and bucket lists.
The Ethics of the Climate Crisis by Robin Attfield
One of the aims of GreenSpirit is to honour the web of life. I have read many books on the climate crisis but this one is different in that it explores the moral reasons to take action, not only for humans but for all living beings.
