Description

**This event is free and open to all. While hosted at the university, we hope to create a diverse space welcoming people from beyond just this campus, from all ages, backgrounds, and beliefs. Who is responsible for taking care of the earth? We talk about the environment in many contexts – politically, economically, socially and morally – but do we also have a spiritual responsibility to the world around us? Concern over the changing climate is growing, with more and more questions about what it means for our future. And there doesn’t seem to be a consensus on what to do about it, leaving us overwhelmed and confused. But what if the way we’re treating the planet is really a symptom of something else? Is it actually an indication of how we’re treating ourselves and each other? How might our actions change if we wanted the best for others just as much as we do for ourselves? Can a spiritual lens help us see the way forward to having healthy and growing societies and also a healthy environment? Come join a different kind of conversation – one that welcomes every perspective in a search for the truths that unite us all – as we discuss the spiritual perspectives offered by the Bahá’í Teachings on the earth and its natural environment. Join us for a lively discussion as we explore how we can work together for the betterment of us all. “Consider how all created things eloquently testify to the revelation of that inner Light within them.” – Bahá’í Teachings *** Donations will not be accepted. -------------------------------------- Our location is: Western Washington University, 516 High St, Bellingham, WA 98225 - Viking Union Room 462. * For navigation devices use specific location names like "Parking Lot C" or "Viking Union" instead of the address. * Parking is free in Lot C after 4:30 pm (15 min walk), or you can pay $2/hour for Lot 6V (closer).
