THE CLIMATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS
November 1, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Michael Pollan has been educating us with illuminating prose on “The Botany of Desire” for a very long time. He continues to show us through his landmark bestseller, How To Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence, alongside his latest book This Is Your Mind On Plants may be the very thing we need to bolster our consciousness in the midst of climate collapse and a world we hardly recognize. Three words come to mind: change, restoration, resiliency. Pollan is a visionary writer and one of our clearest thinkers with upmost integrity of mind and heart. Expert storytelling with a radical challenge to pay attention to what plants have to teach us that will transform our life, this conversation will be a live streamed event.

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.
