Networks of Anticipation
The practice of Anticipation is always co-creative. The mystic/mythologist Thomas Berry teaches us that “all these phenomena of the natural world fling forth to the human a challenge to be responded to in literature, in architecture, ritual, and art, in music and dance and poetry. The natural world demands a response, beyond that of rational calculation, beyond philosophical reasoning, beyond scientific insight. The natural world demands a response that rises from the wild unconscious depths of the human soul. A response that artists seek to provide in color and music and movement.”
These are our ever-evolving networks of anticipation. We are honored to invite you into practice with the practitioners of anticipation below.
CreatureKind’s mission is to encourage Christians to recognize faith-based reasons for caring about the wellbeing of fellow animal creatures used for food, and to take practical action in response. Our core message is that we are CreatureKind together with other animals, and ought to be CreatureKind in how we treat them.
Because the Earth and all people are sacred and at risk, GreenFaith is building a worldwide, multi-faith climate and environmental movement.
Together our members create communities to transform ourselves, our spiritual institutions, and society to protect the planet and create a compassionate, loving and just world.
We envision a world transformed, in which humanity in all its diversity has developed a shared reverence for life on Earth. Religious and spiritual communities everywhere generate a moral awakening to the sacredness of Earth and the dignity of all people. Together, we are building resilient, caring communities and economies that meet everyone’s needs and protect the planet. The era of conquest, extraction, and exploitation has given way to cooperation and community.
The good life is one of connectedness—with each other and all of nature. It is a world of flourishing life that replaces despair with joy, scarcity with shared abundance, and privilege with justly distributed power.
As the world unravels, you need a crysalis. A safe container where you also can do some unravelling - and have others help you in the process of re-weaving. For we have an amazing tapestry to weave. A garden - a forest, a whole multitude of ecosystems - to engage in.
Sequoia Samanvaya is one of those places where you can bring the fragments of the world and of yourself and collage them into beauty.
Like the ancient and ever-evolving Sequoia groves, we rise rooted.
Practically dwelling in mystery. Embracing cutting edge common sense.
“Connecting continents, histories, and experiences not by lines (linear thinking) but by circles, spirals, and embodiment.”
Our work is that of ReMembering and ReEnchanting our world.
The Sacred Ecology Forum encourages Earth-honoring devotional consciousness transformation in all aspects of our lives and for all living beings. Based in New York, NY, we raise awareness about environmental issues and their roots in spiritual and moral issues. Our ecological crisis and climate crisis are, fundamentally, a crisis of the human spirit. Our programming seeks to support individuals and communities on a path of transformation in their inner spiritual lives and their outer lives of service.
