What is Green Spirituality?
A talk by Ian Mowll
Green spirituality is about our connection with the planet Earth and how we can be inspired to live sustainably and with compassion for all living beings. This form of spirituality is vital for our times of environmental challenges. How has green spirituality evolved? How has it been influenced by other spiritual traditions? What are the rituals and practices that ground this form of spirituality? How is green spirituality relevant to today’s world? This talk will answer these questions as well as looking at the impact of the Universe Story (the amazing story as revealed by science from the origin of the Universe to today). Green spirituality will be explained from the perspective of GreenSpirit as an example of green spirituality.
