Read more
Root.ED Conversations are a grounded place for generative ideas that promote societal and ecological resiliency in the face of coming challenges posed by climate change. The first of these conversations introduces you to our three Co-Founders, who will gather weekly to rethink civilizational patterns from interdisciplinary perspectives, including: environmental science, storytelling, peacebuilding, ecotheology, environmental education, interreligious dialogue, conflict transformation, security studies, and the arts. We are excited to curate and generate these paradigm shifting ideas and share them here with you as seeds that you can continue to nurture and grow. We recognize that attention to grief and healing will be vital in our shared journey as we build individual and collective resiliency. Root.ED Conversations are a BioEarth Project. BioEarth empowers local communities and ecosystems to become more resilient in the face of climate change through our multi-solving and systems-based solutions that emphasize sustainability, healing, and justice. We seek to cultivate ecological and social consciousness that fosters new civilizational patterns, so that all may live sustainably in resilient and equitable communities in harmony with natural systems.

Project Status
BioEarth's founders have been working hard on some new conversations and interviews for later this year! We love using our Root.ED Conversations to share inspiring stories and practical strategies to a broad range of audiences. Our Root.ED resources use videos and articles to explore unfolding climate dynamics and changing social realities. We pay special attention to the grief, social trauma, and interreligious and interracial divisions that emerge when exploring climate crisis within and without.
