🌲 The second gathering of Ecological Grief in Action: Mourning and Protecting BC’s Old Growth Forests is coming up soon.

We will meet in the presence of the forest itself — to reflect, to remember, to offer prayers and intentions, and to be in relationship with the living world that sustains us all.

This outdoor pilgrimage invites us to move beyond words and into presence: listening to the land, honouring what is being lost, and holding space for what can still be protected.

If you feel called to join us in this moment of connection, grief, and care for BC’s old-growth forests, you are warmly welcome.

🌲 Session 2 | May 30 | 11:00am – 1:00pm
📍 Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve

🌿 Free & open to all.

🌲 Ecological Grief in Action: Mourning and Protecting BC's Old Growth Forests

BC's ancient old-growth forests are disappearing. Many of us feel the weight of that loss — quietly, deeply — without always knowing how to hold it or what to do with it.
This May, Living Interfaith Sanctuary and Sierra Club BC invite you to come together for a two-part community workshop. A space to grieve honestly. To listen to Indigenous wisdom and teachings. To reflect across faith traditions. And to ask what it truly means to protect what remains.

We are honoured to be welcoming Indigenous Elders to offer welcome, guidance, and teachings as we gather in this spirit of good relations on the lands we share.
🗓️ Session 1 — Saturday, May 23 | 10:00am – 1:00pm
📍 Canadian Memorial United Church, 1825 W 16th Ave, Vancouver
Teachings, interfaith reflection, group sharing, intentions, and food.
🗓️ Session 2 — Saturday, May 30 | 11:00am – 1:00pm
📍 Outdoor forest gathering — location TBD
Pilgrimage, prayers, ritual, offerings, and presence among the trees.

🌿 Free and open to all. All faiths and backgrounds welcome.

This is not just an event. It is an invitation into grief, kinship, and collective care for the living world.
