Multicultural Women Explore Social and Ecological Healing
Tweet Share

The very diverse contributors to the new anthology, Ecological and Social Healing: Multicultural Women’s Voices, explore how being situated between ecological and social justice movements has opened them up to new understandings and new ways of teaching and leading. Using an alternative, contemplative format, they will share “re-storying” narratives that cross boundaries of place, history, trauma and worldview to trigger compassion and healing. With: Jeanine Canty, Associate Professor of Environmental Studies, Naropa University; Nina Simons, Bioneers co-founder, founding Director of Everywoman's Leadership program; Belvie Rooks, co-founder, Growing a Global Heart; Anita Sanchez, Transformational Leadership Council; Melissa K. Nelson, Executive Director, The Cultural Conservancy; Nícola Wagenberg, Vice President, Cultural Conservancy; Susan Griffin, renowned feminist author.
