Spiritual Ecology
Religious & Spiritual Life invites you to mark the month of May as a time to restore our connection with the Earth and to contemplate practices to tend, care, and love our planet. Spiritual Ecology is a growing area of thought and social action to raise the collective human conscience in re-shaping our relationship to the planet and to one another.
Join our new Executive Director/University Chaplain, Rev. Kristen Glass Perez, for a Spiritual Ecology month kick-off to learn a bit about the programs offered and to meet some others who are committed to the spiritual caretaking of this planet!
Join us on Zoom.
It's your chance to enter into a drawing to win a $50 gift certificate to Blind Faith Cafe in Evanston.
TO ENTER: 1) Share a pic on Instagram of how you've been inspired to make a change to care for your planet, 2) Include#nuspiriteco & @nuspiritual.life in the caption. // One entry per person. Ends 05/28/21. Current Northwestern University registered undergrads & grads only.
