Old Ways to New Worlds: Deep Ecology, Green Shinto and Reclaiming
Sunday, January 27, 11 amGuest Speaker Kiya Heartwood, with Cynthia Asprodites
For a more environmentally sustainable future, we need a new ethical, spiritual model where science and religion are integrated and humans are a part, not rulers over the Earth. Join us this Sunday as we seek out this “new” way through the work of modern practitioners of ancient faith traditions from around the world. Guest preacher Kiya Heartwood is an award-winning U.U. songwriter, activist, and Starr King Seminarian. She is also the Artistic Director of the People’s Orchestra of Austin, TX.
