South Australia: Grounding in Faith

Grounding in FaithThe Multifaith Association of South Australia, the Australian Religious Response to Climate Change and the Uniting Church Environment Action Group warmly invite you to join an online webinar from 11am on Wednesday, 6 November, via Zoom.  Grounding in Faith is new approach to exploring our relationship with climate change, focusing on air travel. Developed by US climate psychologist Dr. Renee Lertzman and her team, it provides new perspectives, concrete tools and guidance for aligning our spiritual and worldly lives. 


This interactive pilot program is offered during Time for Living the Change (Sep – Dec 2019), to support people to engage in discussions about our relationship with air travel and climate change. It uses emerging best practice from psychological sciences to support deep, lasting behaviour change, with an emphasis on safety and group support.
