Eco-Spirituality and the Global Environmental Crisis

This episode explores the current global climate and environmental challenges our planet faces. It recognizes that transformative change is needed and business as usual is not an option”. We cannot make the needed shift to “a world that works for all,” that “leaves no one behind,” unless we make real transformative changes in our world-views, practices and policies. World-views contain our core assumptions about the nature of reality and our purpose in life. They need to shift to a deep sense of interconnectedness, respect and care for the whole community of life and future generations. In our practices- our consumption of energy and food, our carbon footprints, how we relate to others. We need to live compassionately, in ways that all can live. Our social and economic policies needs to shift away from an obsession with short term economic growth toward a new bottom line that focuses on full human development for all in a flourishing, increasingly diverse, Earth community.
