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.
The series will also include a live dance performance and poetry night inspired by the show’s theme. See details on each program below:
