The contaminat ion of land and water for unfettered resource extraction is proceeding at an extreme scale and pace. The economic inequality between rich an d poor is growing. We have exceeded the safe limit of carbon in the at mosphere. And yet we hear the mantra that ongoing and rapid ‘economi c growth’ will save us.\nIt is time to re-flect, re-imagine, and re work, together. So many of us care about our land, water, wildlife, co mmunities and future generations. And so many of us have been working relentlessly to protect these gifts of life in different ways. Yet, so often we feel alone in our works. How can this be?\nWe are an invisib le majority. Our works and stories are different, but we share a commo nality: love for our Earth.  We must recognize this commonality in ea ch other for, despite valiant efforts, we cannot realize the kinder fu ture about which we dream if we do not do so together.\nMany others ca re for these gifts also, but believe economic growth is the engine thr ough which to do so. Although many of us see this engine as the very s ource of injustice, we cannot oppose each other. We are beginning to s peak about others in war language. This is only increasing our alienat ion. We must oppose only the system that causes suffering – of which we are all a part – but never oppose each other.\nDo you care about good water and soil? Do you care about right relationships with peop les and creatures? Do you care about someone? Do you care about someth ing?\n \nGatherings (6-9 pm)\nCaring for All Creation: From Fear and Apathy to Active-Hope and Love\nMar 3 (Victoria) Guest Speaker: Dr. Di ttmar Mundel\nMar 4 (Vancouver) Guest Speaker: Dr. Dittmar Mundel\nThe me 1: Mar 3 - Mar 16\n \nCaring for All Creation: Re-Valuing Vocation in Land & Food Systems\nMar 17 (Victoria) Guest Speaker: Andrew Rushm ere, Erika Mundel\nMar 18 (Vancouver) Guest Speaker: Seann Dory\nTheme 2: Mar 17 - Mar 30\n \nCaring for All Creation: De-colonization and Indigenous Wisdom\nMar 31 (Victoria) Sara Stratton\nApr 1 (Vancouver) Sara Stratton, other TBA\nTheme 3: Mar 31 - Apr 13\n \nCaring for All Creation: From Extractivism to a Gift Economy\nApr 14 (Victoria) TBA! \nApr 15 (Vancouver) Christine Boyle, Village Vancouver Founder Ross M oster\nTheme 4: Apr 14 - Apr 27\n \nCaring for All Creation: A Cultur e & Politics for our Land, Water and Communities\nApr 28 (Victoria) Dr .
