Climate change threatens all Earth’s places, plants, animals, people, dreams, and plans. By creating meaningful Earth Hospice practices and ceremonies and sharing them in the community, we discover how both mourning what’s lost and celebrating what remains is vital medicine not just for survival, but for finding new meaning, beauty, and even joy.

The Earth itself isn’t dying, of course. But what we are losing is our relationship to the places, plants, animals, dreams, seasons, and plans we thought could always depend on. In this workshop, you will explore and collect readings, practices, and actions that are meaningful to you and that you can use to create an Earth Hospice ceremony and an ongoing practice.

You will come to understand that, despite this unprecedented crisis we’re facing, we are not doomed to powerlessness and despair. In fact, we all have the power to help ourselves, our community, and the Earth go through it with meaning, beauty, and reverence.

Who this workshop is for

This workshop is for anyone who is deeply worried about climate change and seeking a way to deal with it and, most importantly, share that way with others. Participants will create an actual ceremony that they can lead in their community and serve as a template for other ceremonies.
