Eco-Chaplaincy

What is eco-chaplaincy?

Eco-chaplaincy is a form of spiritual care that supports people to turn towards socio-environmental distress with greater compassion and wisdom. From environmental degradation and unprecedented natural disasters to escalating economic and social crises, the practice of eco-chaplaincy acknowledges that globally we are living though times of great adversity. Increasingly we hear the call of a planet in crisis, and seek meaningful ways to make sense of, and respond wisely to the suffering we encounter across ecologies and communities. Eco chaplains support us to remember our belonging and connection with all of life.

In my work as a climate chaplain, I hold an open, non-directive space for emotional and spiritual support. Drawing on the wisdom of our more than human kin, I accompany you to navigate questions of meaning and purpose embedded in the complexity of ecological loss and uncertainty. Anxiety, grief, confusion, despair, curiosity, reverence, hope… Whatever arises is welcome and met with respectful, confidential, and sacred presence.

You do not need to identify as spiritual or religious to benefit from time with an eco-chaplain. I meet you wherever you are. With spacious, compassionate attention, together we explore the unfolding of skillful response to the challenge and opportunity present during this rapidly evolving time of environmental and social instability.

Ways we can collaborate together:

One-on-one ecologically oriented spiritual care

Ritual and ceremony creation & facilitation

Grief and resilience group facilitation

Community climate conversations

Earth based spirituality teaching
