Living Earth Community: From Ecological Vision to Transformative Action with John Grim and Sam King

In partnership with Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology

In a time of ecological breakdown, ancient spiritual teachings are converging with contemporary science to reclaim humanity’s place in the Living Earth Community. This webinar will introduce participants to the new Living Earth Community website, an interactive knowledge commons featuring multimedia resources on the intelligences of nature, ecological worldviews, and Earth Law. We will focus on the practical applications of shifting from viewing the natural world as a “collection of objects” to a “communion of subjects,” including ocean, freshwater, and forest protection, biodiversity restoration, and the Rights of Nature movement. The webinar will also serve as an invitation to the Living Earth Community conference at the Yale Peabody Museum on October 17, 2026.
