One Shared Earth – Film & Dialogue & Poetry

Feb 23, 2025 | News + Announcements

In times of great change, we need stories that offer paths of inspiration and action.  

Join us for a series of films featuring examples of people working in partnership with nature, including drawing from the wisdom of Indigenous peoples and traditions. We can discover the courage and creativity that comes from seeing ourselves as part of a living earth, rather than separate from nature. 

Each film evening is free to attend and includes:

  • A film exploring one aspect of these themes, e.g., through food, waterways, and land. 
  • An opportunity to discuss the film in small group conversations and get connected with local organizations working on these issues. 
  • Time to tour an art show about One Shared Earth, with over 80 pieces of visual art, poetry, and sculpture. 

Inhabit: A Permaculture PerspectiveApril 26th

Inhabit shares how people are using a set of ecological design principles in rural, suburban, and urban landscapes to shift from destructive to restorative practices. Get specific ideas of how you can work with nature to take what is a problem and find solutions with multiple benefits, in your home and community. 

There is no fee to attend. All are welcome. Light snacks will be served. 

We hope you’ll join us to explore ways to take meaningful action for healing our earth and communities. 

Art show is open at 6:30 PM, film begins at 7:00 PM

Poetry: One Shared EarthApril 27th
