In Braiding Sweetgrass, Robin Wall Kimmerer offers, “Scarcity and plenty are as much qualities of the mind and spirit as they are of the economy. Gratitude plants the seed for abundance. … Gratitude is a powerful antidote… A deep awareness of the gifts of the earth and of each other is medicine.”
This workshop explores the opportunities (and challenges) for gratitude and eco-spirituality as personal, pedagogical and environmentally revolutionary practices. Drawing on Macy and Brown’s Coming from Gratitude, we will situate our experiences within the wealth of earth-based gratitude and eco-spiritual research and explore possible next steps.
