What you can do this week at home:
If you are unable to join us, feel free to use these links and resources to create a faith formation opportunity in your own home this week
- Watch a documentary about Wangari Maathai called Taking Root: The Vision of Wangari Maathai. (It’s available on Netflix; you might also be able to check it out of the library or watch it on your local PBS station.) Invite Circle of Trees participants to join you, or host a showing for the congregation.
- Try to spend time outside each day, paying special attention to the trees near where you live.
- Use a nature journal to record your observations and feelings about trees as you deepen your connection with them, beyond the Circle of Trees workshops.
- Think about ways that you can engage with people and trees with respect.
- Here are some books about trees that you may want to look into.
- Here are some tree related project ideas.
I will be out of town for another week, but, am still available via email! Let me know if I can be supportive to you in any other way! I am here for you.
All my best with blessings,
Amy
