Description
This talk will be a powerful and poetic call to ecological activism. The deep loss of a tree in front of Jean Shinoda Bolen’s house that she couldn’t save, combined with her practice of walking among tall trees, led to her deep connection with trees and an understanding of their many complexities. From their anatomy and physiology to trees as archetypal and sacred symbols, Bolen expertly explores the dynamics of ecological activism, spiritual activism and sacred feminism. And, she invites us to join the movement to save trees, and nature in general.
As a lecturer, Jean’s storytelling can be very engaging, speaking as she does as if in conversation. The Q&A was recorded after the presentation.
This lecture is for you:
- The archetypal and sacred symbols that trees carry.
- Inspiring stories about trees and tree people.
- How trees call us to protect our environment.
- How trees can expand our consciousness of life itself.
