Why was there such concern around the world during the 2019 Australian fires when millions of creatures were dying in the blaze? Why did the MeToo movement take off so quickly with hundreds of thousands of women coming forward to speak out against abuse? Why did the Black Lives Matter protests burst onto the international scene within days of the murder of George Floyd? Why such an outcry when the Supreme Court struck down Roe vs. Wade and women’s rights were suddenly, brutally dashed? In each situation, deep down, we knew something sacred was at stake.
All these critical issues are interrelated. The way we have wronged the earth is the way we have dishonored the feminine or belittled the other, whether other is a nation, religion, race, gender, or sexual orientation. Today’s crises – ecological, political, societal - all stem from the fact that we treat the earth and one another as less than sacred. How can we reawaken to the sacredness at the heart of all life, the sacredness that is also at the heart of our own being?
Join Rev. Laurie Brandt on Sunday, August 20th, as we look to ancient Celtic wisdom for insights to help create the paradigm shift our world so desperately needs and, in the process, reconnect with our own sacredness.
