What is the Green Exodus and why should I care?

The story of the twentieth century was finding out

just how big and powerful we were.

And it turns out that we're big and powerful as all get out.

The story of the twenty-first century is going to be

finding out if we can figure out ways to get smaller or not.

To see if we can summon the will, and then the way, to make ourselves somewhat smaller, and try to fit back into this planet.

~ Bill McKibben

GREEN EXODUS

Are you astonished by the beauty of the world – especially the Bow Valley corridor?

Are you desiring the synergy of community as you respond to Bill McKibben’s challenge?

Do you have an openhearted, perhaps spiritual response to the gifts of nature you experience?

The Green Exodus: will use contemplation, creativity, community and a fresh look at the Cosmos to realign our relationship with the Earth. Although these gatherings will occur on Zoom, our focus is place-based. We are so excited that the first place to host this endeavour is Canmore! For more information contact, Sarah@greenexodus.ca
