SUMMARY:Sacred Conversations: Caretakers of Creation Part II: Faith and The Environment Q&A
DESCRIPTION:We are doing things a little differently for the second Sacred Conversations in our series on faith\, health and the environment. We invite you to join us as we hear from Sarah Ogletree\, Program Coordinator for North Carolina Interfaith Power and Light\, on her experiences working at the intersection of faith and the environment. What’s different? Sarah will answer questions from you; the questions you don’t want to ask\, or feel like it’s the wrong time to ask or the questions that you think will make you feel like the only one in the room who doesn’t know the right answers. \nAs we explore practical ways to engage with our environment as good caretakers our hope is that we can create a space and time where we all get to ask our questions out loud and share our collective knowledge. Bring your questions June 25 11 am and/or submit your questions early here. This Sacred Conversations is an extension of the newly updated Partners in Health and Wholeness Sustainability Pledge as we seek to highlight the intersection of health\, faith and the environment. \nClick here to register

SUMMARY:Eco-Justice is Anti-Colonial
DESCRIPTION:Join NCIPL & NC Council of Churches Intern for Climate and Environmental Justice\, Noely Bernier\, for a discussion on the impacts of colonialism (on our lives and the environmental movement)\, the importance of decolonization to the work of social and ecological justice\, and ways to embody decolonization as activists and people of faith. Noely will provide a brief history of colonialism as a foundation to our discussion\, tell her own story related to this work\, and walk participants through various ways that the colonial narrative has shaped land\, relationships\, activism\, and discourse. NCIPL & Eco-Justice Connection Program Coordinator\, Sarah Ogletree\, will also provide resources during the call to aid faith communities in considering a decolonized framework in their ministries.

Please join us for this deeply important and honest conversation that is central to living out our callings of love! \nSpecial thanks to Guilford College\, Quaker Earthcare Witness\, and New Garden Friends Meeting in Greensboro who dreamed with us about this internship and made this opportunity possible.

SUMMARY:Climate Change and Mental Health Connections
DESCRIPTION:Grappling with the reality of our changing climate\, and what climate change means for our communities and families\, is incredibly taxing work. Those working on the frontlines of climate and environmental justice often suffer from depression and anxiety\, while more frequent and severe storms can lead to panic attacks and PTSD in affected populations. Activists and vulnerable communities both deserve support in addressing the mental health aspects of being climate-informed and climate-impacted. That’s why\, on May 15th\, in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month\, NCIPL is hosting “Climate Change & Mental Health Connections: A Panel Discussion for the Wellbeing of Our Communities.” \nJoin NCIPL Program Coordinator\, Sarah Ogletree\, licensed mental health counselor\, Caleb Pusey\, PHW Associate Director\, Jessica Stokes\, and eco-chaplain\, Sarah Vekasi\, for a conversation regarding the mental health needs of our movement\, how congregations can support those feeling the weight of this work\, and how we can better cultivate spaces that honor grief while nourishing hope. \nClick here to register. Once you have registered\, Zoom call details will be emailed to your inbox. Click here to view the Facebook event page and share within your networks.
