Upcoming Events


January 18 and 25, February 1 and 8: 
Radical Joy for Hard Times Earth Ambassadors Harriet Sams and Sasha Daucus are leading a collaborative project with the innovative climate change group, Deep Adaptation, to explore ways of relating to wounded places and, in the process, deepen awareness of ourselves. The program is full, but if you’re interested, let us know, and the facilitators may offer another one.


Global Earth Exchange

June: Our 12th annual Global Earth Exchange will take place this year! We don’t yet know the exact date—it will either be the 19th or 26th—or what form it might take, but we will definitely be uniting around the world once again to honor wounded and endangered places and celebrate our love of them.
