The GreenFaith Boulder County Circle held a Fall Gathering and Interest Meeting on Thursday, November 14th. It has been awhile since we last gathered, and the time felt right to (re)energize our Circle for climate action in the coming year.
What a gift to have folx from so many communities gathered together, including…
Congregation Nevei Kodesh, Congregation Har HaShem, Boulder Valley UU Fellowship, Boulder Friends, Boulder Shambhala Center, Eon Zen Center, Upaya Zen Center, Community United Church of Christ, Pine Street Church, Flame and Well Druid Grove, Naropa University, First Congregational Church, Boulder Morningstar Zen Center, Climate Justice Hive, Joanna Macy Center, and more….
Many thanks to everyone who joined.
Shout out also to Micha K. Ben-David with the Climate Justice Hive for helping to guide our group discussion. And many thanks to the Joanna Macy Center and Climate Justice Hive for hosting us at Naropa, to the Mediterranean Market for the nourishing food, and to GreenFaith USA for picking up the tab to support our efforts.
We may have failed to take photos but it was a full room of heart-full people sharing, connecting, and planting seeds for faith-rooted climate action. It was wonderful to be together and combine our lights in these dark times.
Next steps:
Our goal was to affirm and deepen our relationships and explore ways to develop a stronger and wider network for collective action.
We will compile the many networks, connections and ideas that were shared and send that out to everyone in the coming weeks.
Our next gathering will be Thursday, January 16th, time TBD — we’ll send out a scheduling poll in early Jan.
If you are connected with someone who came to the gathering and is not on this email list, please forward our gratitude to them as well. They can sign up here to receive these emails.
In the meantime, many blessings to all as we turn toward the winter solstice and enter the holiday season. Please keep sharing here as you are called.
May we continue to co-create a sanctuary of support and loving action.
