24. Earth Solidarity: Learning to advocate for—and as—creation, with Mary DeJong

In this episode we talk with Mary DeJong, founder of Waymarkers. The mission of Waymarkers is to help people to deepen their relationship to the sacred in all of creation. In particular, Mary helps people to shift their world views—and to embrace the profound understanding that we as human beings are not separate from the rest of creation, but instead are an integral part of it. When we shift our perspective in this way, it completely changes our motivation for environmental advocacy and earthkeeping.Want to leave a question or comment for the podcast?
