SUMMARY:Registration Closes: Singing the Earth’s Song: Lament\, Praise\, & Prayer (April 22-24)
DESCRIPTION:REGISTRATION: \nhttps://dscumc.org/3-day-academy-for-spiritual-formation-april-22-25-2025 \nSinging the Earth’s Song: Lament\, Praise\, & Prayer is a 3 Day Academy for Spiritual Formation put on by the Desert Southwest Conference and held at the Redemptorist Renewal Center (https://desertrenewal.org) \nRegistration closes on March 1. (cost $600 for 3 days) \nFlyer: https://dscumc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/3-Day-Academy-Flyer.pdf \nARIZONA THREE-DAY ACADEMY FOR SPIRITUAL FORMATION\n“SINGING THE EARTH’S SONG:\nLAMENT\, PRAISe\, PRAYER” \nApril 22-25\, 2025\nat Redemptorist Renewal\nCenter\, Tucson\n“The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness\nthereof; the world\, and they who dwell\ntherein.” Ps. 24:1. The environmental crisis\ndemands a response from the faith community\,\nbecause the problem is not just a scientific or\npolitical problem; it’s a spiritual problem.\nMaterialism dictates our value system; we’re\nshort-sighted about the use of the earth’s\nresources. Local churches have often chosen\ndenial or complacency rather than hope and\nengagement\, even though the environment is\noften the number one concern of our young\npeople. This retreat is a journey into the heart\nof our faith tradition and the scientific\ncommunity as together we find ways to\nrespond. \nThe Program\nWe begin this immersion retreat on Earth Day (April 22\, 2025) at Redemptorist\nRenewal Center nestled next to Sahuaro National Park (West). With worship and\njoy\, we’ll celebrate the earth and listen for her songs. With silence\, prayer\, and\ncommunity we’ll learn and grieve\, find hope and courage for the Great Work of\naddressing environmental degradation. Besides the classroom setting\, we’ll\nengage in field trips where we can listen to those actively creating places of\necological refuge. Our final day (Friday\, April 25) will include time for\ndiscernment regarding “next steps” for addressing this crisis.\nFor a detailed schedule\, please go to website: \n3 Day Academy for Spiritual Formation – Payment or Donation

This is a space for CBOs\, local/state/Tribal governments\, schools\, houses of worship\, nonprofits\, and anyone else interested in learning about Direct Pay to share their clean energy project plans\, raise clarifying questions\, and talk through their roadblocks or concerns. All project stages are welcome! You do not need a concrete project plan to join. Please register below to attend.\n\nWe welcome everyone but do recommend that those who are new to Direct Pay check out this page on 101 level resources (https://www.lawyersforgoodgovernment.org/direct-pay-101).\nWe also encourage clicking through the L4GG Clean Energy Tax Navigator (https://cleanenergytaxnavigator.org/) and thinking about what questions you still have about Direct Pay before joining the session. This will help ensure that we use our session time most effectively.\n\nPlease note that while these monthly sessions generally occur around the same time of the month on Thursdays at 1:00pm ET\, we may shift a session depending on holidays or other events that month. Registering and adding zoom calendar automation will help ensure that you receive updates on any time changes. Please contact heejin@progressivecaucuscenter.org for more information\, assistance receiving the zoom link\, or accommodations that would better enable you to participate.

SUMMARY:AZIPL Meeting - Phoenix Metro Area
DESCRIPTION:“Hope is not the same thing as optimism.  It is not the conviction that something will turn out well\, but the certainty that something is worth doing\, regardless of how it turns out… This hope… gives us the strength to live and continually to try new things\, even in conditions that seem as hopeless as ours do\, here and now.” – Václav Havel\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs AZIPL plans for 2025 we commit to trying new things\, and leaning into some of the old things that work.  We want to support the work you do in your congregations\, help connect you to others\, and build coalitions for climate justice.  We will continue to build community and bridge divides among people who love our common home and care deeply for others. \nNow is the time\, more than ever\, to grow our movement.  We hope you will join us.  That could be gathering a S.A.G.E. team in your own congregation\, committing to more climate conversations\, or attending THIS\, our January AZIPL meetings* to plan for 2025!

She teaches Multi-Cultural Folktales\nfor the Storytelling Institute at South Mountain Community College\nin Phoenix\, Arizona\, and T’ai Chi for the Muhammed Ali Parkinson\nCenter\, discovering that the two arts\, have much in common.

Mythology was woven into the foundations\,\nfolklore on the walls like vines\, fairy tales dancing through the air\,\nand history walked the hall. Dart is performer and a traditional\nstoryteller trained by Liz Weir\, MBE. Still thriving on stories\, Dart is\ninspired by characters who endure hardship\, magical helpers\, gritty\ntruths\, and even if there is no happily ever after\, remind us to be\ndecent to each other; kindness prevails.
