RegisterFrom Warheads to Windmills
Wednesday, August 21st, 7 p.m. Eastern/4 p.m. Pacific
Climate catastrophe and nuclear war are two existential threats we face as a species. The issues are also connected. They are human-engineered problems that reinforce each other, and there are already solutions for us to implement if we can overcome the misinformation, propaganda, and politicians corrupted by profiteering corporations. Join Timmon Wallis, Executive Director of NuclearBan.US, as we ask the question: How can peace activists, environmentalists, and others working for justice work together on strategies that will address both of these crises?

RegisterGrowing Universalism w/tom kunesh
Monday, September 16th, 7 p.m. Eastern/4 p.m. Pacific
As nations around the world expand their definition of personhood to include whales, bees, turtles, rivers, & nature as a whole, – what effect do these legalistic inclusions of other ‘things’ as beings have on our a/theology of ‘soul’ ?

RegisterMonthly Worship Sharing
Fourth Tuesday of each month, 7 p.m. Eastern time/4 p.m. Pacific time
In worship sharing, we gather in small groups to focus on a particular query to explore our own experience and share with each other more deeply than we would in normal conversation. It seeks to draw us into sacred space, where we can take down our usual defenses and encounter each other in “that which is eternal.”
