Dear Friends,

We are delighted to present *Douglas Christie, Ph.D* for our first program
of the fall season.  You will not want to miss this inspiring presentation
as we experience the climate crisis with the extinction of species and the
loss of bio-diversity.  Register now for this upcoming workshop.

Cultivating a Sense of Place: Contemplative Ecology in a Time of Loss   with
Douglas Christie, Ph.D
4 Wednesdays - September 8, 15, 22 & 29, 2021
*The Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset once said: “Tell me the
landscape in which you live and I will tell you who you are.” Here we find
a beautiful expression of the deep and fundamental connection that exists
between place and human identity. But how in fact does place shape
identity? How is it that our deepest emotions and values, including those
that we consider to be part of our spiritual life, come to be so closely
tied to the places we inhabit? What do we lose—in relation to our identity,
our sense of meaning, even our sense of God—when these places are lost or
degraded? Is it still possible to cultivate a sense of wholeness and
integrity in relation to the places we inhabit? If so, what sensibilities
and practices (especially contemplative practices) are most critical for
helping us to realize it? This workshop will focus on the these and other
related questions—to help participants consider what it means to cultivate
a deeper sense of place and a stronger ethical commitment to caring for the
places we love.*

  Douglas E. Christie received his undergraduate degree from the University
of California, Santa Cruz, his M.A. from Oxford University and his Ph.D.
from the Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley. He has been awarded
fellowships from the Luce Foundation, the Lilly Foundation and the NEH.
>From 2013-2015 he served as Co-director of the Casa de la Mateada study
abroad program in Córdoba, Argentina. His primary research interests focus
on contemplative thought and practice in ancient and medieval Christianity
and on spirituality and ecology. He is the author of The Word in The
Desert: Scripture and the Quest for Holiness in Early Christian Monasticism
(Oxford), The Blue Sapphire of the Mind: Note for a Contemplative Ecology
(Oxford), and is the founding editor of Spiritus: A Journal of Christian
Spirituality (Johns Hopkins). His current work is focused on the idea of
mystical darkness and the contemporary sense of exile, loss and emptiness.
