Listening to the Earth’s Dream
In this time of climate crisis and upheaval, could the earth communicate with us through a dream? Where our own efforts fall short, might we hear what she has to say about possible solutions to the problems we face? In this gathering, we will receive a piece of creative writing, some images, and hear a dream. As we share our experience of these offerings in community, we will listen to see if we can hear the earth’s voice coming through. Our time will conclude with a communally created poem that holds the words and energy we have generated together.
