The "Perennial Turn" and People of Faith

Past event
Dec 15, 2018, 4 to 5 PM

What is the "Perennial Turn" and how can people of faith contribute to it?
Saturday, December 15th, 4:00pm, Weybridge Congregational Church.

Middlebury College students from "The Perennial Turn in Ag and Culture" course have spent the semester exploring how lessons from perennial polyculture and research that is being conducted at The Land Institute can be applied more broadly to social institutions to build a more just, sustainable,and "thriveable" world. Throughout the semester, the students partnered with Vermont Interfaith Power and Light and the Addison County Interfaith Climate Action Network to discover ways to bring the theories surrounding the "Perennial Turn" into practice across faith communities. Please join us to find new ways to define the relationship between humans and non-humans and to welcome the sacred in nature. We hope to reflect deeply on our surroundings (physical, structural, and spiritual), find wonder in the interconnectedness of the world, and identify the ways in which those connections call us to action. All are welcome - please reach out to Mikayla at mhaefele@middlebury.edu or Anna at adurning@middlebury.edu with questions/comments.
