Explore an Earth Centered World View Zoom Series

  Balsam Moon Preserve will host a four-week webinar on “Exploring an Earth-Centered World View”, on Wednesdays, January 18- February 8, 6:30-8:00pm.  This series will explore together what an earth-centered worldview might look like in relationship to other current worldviews. Participants will reflect on their own worldviews and how those views may have changed over time, before launching into an earth-centered worldview.   

   This series is not about changing anyone’s worldview, only about learning and understanding each other as we navigate our lives in community, and have fun exploring how an earth-centered perspective might fit into our overall worldview.

   The series will be facilitated by Doug Weiss of Balsam Moon Preserve. He has been exploring the idea of worldviews over the past few years, doing more reading, reflection and observation. He desires to share and explore with each participant to expand his own understandings and keep learning.  Weiss is one of the creators and caretakers of Balsam Moon Preserve.
