How Worldviews and Climate Justice Can Remake a World in Crisis
The dominant cultural worldview is based upon extraction and exploitation practices that have brought us to the precipice of social, environmental, and climate collapse. Braiding poetic storytelling, climate justice and deep cultural analyses, and the collective knowledge of Earth-centered cultures, this event will focus on the book The Story is in Our Bones by Osprey Orielle Lake, which opens a portal to restoration and justice beyond the end of a world in crisis.
The discussion will focus on weaving together ecological, mythical, political, and cultural understandings and experiences working with global leaders, systems-thinkers, climate justice activists, and Indigenous Peoples. We will explore a new way of being and thinking in the Anthropocene, which includes transforming the interlocking crises of colonialism, racism, patriarchy, capitalism, and ecocide, to build thriving Earth communities for all.
Osprey Orielle Lake is the founder and executive director of the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN).
