Environment and Spirituality ideas
I am planning on an independent study next quarter to explore the topic of environment and spirituality. I am not exactly sure what my goal is for this study, although very recently I've begun to wonder if there is a thesis topic in it for me. I do want to explore how Paganism might inform or connect with work towards sustainability. I also know that I don't want to focus exclusively on Pagan spirituality - I am interested, for example, in learning more about how Christians (even the more conservative branches) are starting to see environmental issues as a spiritual or religious issue or calling.
I am setting up a meeting with someone with some background in this area and there are a couple books on my radar already - Pagan Visions For A Sustainable Future and Love God Heal Earth. However, I'm also really hoping that I can get some good ideas from my friends in LJ-land and the wider blogosphere.
Do you have any books to recommend?
People you think I should talk to?
An event that I should go to?
Know of any cool organizations in the area?
Be interested in talking to me about how your spirituality informs your work towards sustainability or your environmentalism?
I'd appreciate any ideas, suggestions, inspirations. Thanks!
