Living into a Dangerous Future

Virtual

Our planet continues to warm, bringing current and future changes and threats to all its inhabitants, human and non-human.

In his recent book Life After Doom, author Brian McLaren encourages us to plan for living on a planet of increasing heat, more powerful storms and droughts, diminished nature, and threats to human living. At each session, we will reflect on journal and share our responses to our planetary situation.

This journaling program is built on the insights of McLaren’s book as well as other sources.

Why write? Journal writing focuses the mind and heart. Writing down thoughts and feelings can also promote new insights and choices. Writing provides a record to return to and build on.

Journaling Themes for Each Session

Session 2: Living Spiritually at a Dangerous Time
