So I receive this newsletter.  Wanted to share.

Of course the Kimmerer interview is of interest to Green Sanctuary.  But also the film series, and online course may be of interest to us, as well as MOVCA.

“We are blessed to receive the gifts of the Earth, and then we have to give our gifts back in return. That’s the circle.”

An Interview with Robin Wall Kimmerer

This year, it seems especially relevant to reflect on the spiritual values we so urgently need at the core of our social and cultural systems. How can we return to an ethic of care and reciprocity in the way we live? In this conversation, Potawatomi botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer celebrates the serviceberry—both as a plant of joyous generosity, and as a living model for a gift economy that recognizes the sacred nature of the Earth. Speaking about her latest book, which elaborates on an essay she wrote for us in 2020, Robin orients us to a set of principles known as “the Honorable Harvest”—ethical and pragmatic teachings about being in right relationship with the Earth’s gifts: taking only what you need, sharing abundance, and giving thanks. By embodying them, she says, we can learn to live rooted in practical reverence for the land and each other.

“What is the gift

In this poem, Chickasaw poet Linda Hogan writes:

Sometimes there is an opening

in what you call time. That’s when you hear the voices

from long before your own silken life of a soul was born.

Your spirit traveled. Old ones came to meet it.

You were the future they sang for.

Evoking the hope and resilience of her ancestors, who suffered untold violence and loss, Linda sees how, over the long arc of time, the stories and wisdom of those who came before her continue to seed a song of what is sacred.

Separated from the fabric of the cosmos, the vast mystery of Time has been distilled into a tool of control. But what kind of Time listens and moves in tune with the Earth; travels not in a straight line, but in a circle? Journeying through its many landscapes—deep time, geological time, kinship time, ancestral time, and sacramental time—Volume 5: Time, our first hardcover edition, asks: If we can recognize a different kind of Time, can we come to dwell within it?

Directed by Adam Loften and Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee

In our new Shifting Landscapes Film Series, four storytellers respond to uncertainty and loss in the places they call home: a melting Icelandic glacier, the desecration of a sacred Hawaiian mountain, a changing way of life in the forests of Cambodia, and the vanishing song of the nightingale in southern England. This series explores how a singer, a poet, a writer, and a filmmaker embrace the alchemical power of story to connect and transform us, each holding both catastrophe and love as our landscapes change and disappear.

What does it mean to lead amid the turmoil of our ecological unraveling from a place that centers the Earth not as an abstract idea, but as a living presence?

For the very first time, Emergence is offering our Seeds of Radical Renewal leadership course as an online and in-person hybrid, facilitating a deeper immersion into the practical application of spiritual ecology and adaptive leadership. Opening a space for in-depth explorations of how we might respond to the social and ecological challenges of our time from a space of connection; listen to voices and intelligences outside our own; share power in community; and learn to relinquish uncertainty, this course will offer mentoring to emerging leaders on building relationships with human and more-than-human communities and applying the values of renewal, reciprocity, and reverence to real-world projects.

This course will run as a UK and a US iteration under the guidance of guest teachers James Bridle, Dana Karout, Sam Lee, Joycelyn Longdon, and Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee, and will be structured as a six-part online workshop, before culminating in a four-day, in-person retreat at either Sharpham Trust in Devon or the Whidbey Institute in Washington State.

UK: April 30 – June 21, 2025

US: August 6 – September 28, 2025

by Robert Moor

In this narrated essay, writer Robert Moor journeys to Haida Gwaii, an island chain in British Columbia, for the anniversary of a historic agreement between the Haida Nation and the Canadian government that protects the landscape’s last remaining old-growth forests after decades of logging. As he walks through forest stewarded for generations by Haida, Robert begins to see the tangle of Sitka spruces and cedars, mosses and lichens, not as a site of slow decay, but of ongoing growth. How can being in the presence of ancient trees, he asks, help us feel, rather than intellectualize, not only the deep past, but also our responsibility to the future?
