Parliament Co-Sponsors the Daylong Intensive AWAKENED ACTION

On Sunday, June 21st the Parliament of the World’s Religions is partnering with the Upaya Institute and Zen Center and the The Loka Initiative at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to host the “AWAKENED ACTION: Women Leaders Speak to the Climate Catastrophe and Pandemic and Explore Strategies for a Sane, Just, and Compassionate Future”.

This extraordinary daylong intensive that you are invited to attend is a deep plunge into the facts, faith, and politics around our climate catastrophe and the effects of climate change and the pandemic on our shared future. The presenters are women of action, who are renowned leaders in their respective fields, all of whom have deep regard for the ways in which world view, values, science, and contemplative practice play an essential role in how we shape a future that is just, sane, and compassionate. The program includes key presentations and talks from climate scientists, perspectives from long-term contemplatives and environmentalists, and insights from social historians.
