UCM to Host Rev. Fred Small for Climate Engagement Workshop

Rev. Fred Small, Unitarian Universalist singer-songwriter and Minister for Climate Justice, to lead “Give Light: Spiritual Support for Climate Activism,” Sunday, October 12 at the Unitarian Church of Montpelier

 

The Rev. Fred Small will be leading a two-hour workshop on spiritual support for climate activism for people of all faiths and spiritual orientations. Rev. Small is a Unitarian Universalist minister, singer-songwriter, and former environmental lawyer. Bill McKibben has called Rev. Small “one of the true stalwarts of the fight against climate change in this country.”

 

In this interactive program, Rev. Small will invite us into meditation, reflection, conversation, and song, fortifying our spirits and deepening our resolve as we face the climate emergency. The purpose of this heart-centered experience is not to examine climate science, policy options, or activist strategies (important as these are) but to reflect upon our emotional and spiritual response to change and challenge.

 

This interactive workshop is appropriate for older children, teens, and adults. The workshop is being offered at no cost to participants with sponsorship from the Unitarian Church of Montpelier, Vermont Interfaith Action, Vermont Interfaith Power and Light, Vermont Natural Resources Council, and 350 Vermont.
