Join us for a welcoming reading circle dedicated to exploring ways in which we can cultivate a meaningful connection with the Earth. Focused on accessible writings and reflections that bridge ecological understanding with a sense of reverence, belonging, and responsibility toward the natural world, this circle invites participants into thoughtful conversation and shared inquiry. Each session will include group reading, reflection, and discussion.

Our first gathering will explore the “North American Continent” chapter from Thomas Berry’s The Great Work as we consider the ecological history of this land and how we might move toward a more life-sustaining future.

Noble Silence or Noble Voice—Your Choice
In this circle, both quiet presence and spoken reflection are equally welcomed and valued. Inspired by Earth-connected traditions where silence holds as much wisdom as words, there is never an expectation to read aloud or speak. You are welcome to join us in quiet presence, taking part in the experience in whatever way feels right to you.
