Debbie’s workshop:
Wild Community: How Pagans can protect the magic of biodiversity 6:00-6:45pm
Climate and extinction crises threaten our beloved Earth community and, ultimately, us, but there is hope to be found in care for nature inspired by Paganism. With inspiration from new animism, deep ecology, and shamanism; ideas from authors such as Stephan Harding, Deborah Bird Rose, David Abram, and Starhawk; and anecdotes from Debbie’s work as a wildlife rehabilitator, this workshop addresses why saving the Earth’s biodiversity should be an imperative for all Pagans. Debbie invites support and protection of wild beings with practical how-tos for tending life-affirming ecosystems large and small, and shares some ecospiritual practices and rituals that invoke the magic and mysticism of nature and ground us in an expanded sense of belonging in the wild world. The workshop will include a meditation practice and a community-created eco-grief ritual.
