The Ecology, Spirituality, and Religion (ESR) graduate program at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) is hosting a one-day conference to invite leaders of environmental organizations and public land managers into dialogue with faculty and students of Religious Studies, Philosophy, and Theology departments. Together, these scholar-practitioners will explore the transformational possibilities of incorporating ecological concerns into religious education and integrating spiritual perspectives into environmental protection and activism. CIIS envisions the conference and network as catalysts for scholarly growth of the Religion and Ecology field, effective regional organizing, and the professional development of CIIS graduate students and the greater Bay Area.
