THE CLIMATE OF COMMUNITY

November 29, 2021: THE CLIMATE OF COMMUNITY  – Brian Kirbis,  A Community Tea Ceremony, Theasophie

For our last “Weather Report,” Tea Master Brian Kirbis who has opened each conversation with a tea pouring to set a tone of well being and attention,  on this final session, he will take us through a formal tea ceremony.  As a global community online, we will be able to sit and sip in a collective silence and hold space together as we contemplate all we have heard and taken into our minds and hearts as a community of care.  Through this gesture of generosity and grace, Brian will close our gathering witha meditation for peace and conscious action on behalf of this place we call home, Earth.

Terry Tempest Williams (author and Harvard Divinity School writer-in-residence), Charles M. Stang (director of the Center for the Study of World Religions at Harvard Divinity School), and Dr. Sam Myers (Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health principal research scientist and Planetary Health Alliance director) have launched The Constellation Project. The Constellation Project — a collaboration between the Harvard Divinity School, the Planetary Health Alliance, and the Center for the Study of World Religions—explores the spiritual crisis that underlies the ecological and public health crises associated with destruction of Earth’s natural systems. How do we share news stories about our relationship to each other and the natural world that could help set us on a different path? The Constellation Project aims to feature faith leaders bringing science into their sermons; scientists giving ‘reverence for life’ alongside their analyses; and scholars and students finding a place for their spiritual life.

This series is a Constellation Project in partnership with the Center of the Study of World Religions, Religion & Public Life, and The Planetary Health Alliance. Brian Kirbis of Theasophia Teas will open each conversation with Tea. Each conversation will begin at 7:00 p.m. EST and end at 8:30 p.m. virtually conducted by Terry Tempest Williams, writer-in-residence at the Harvard Divinity School.
