SUMMARY:Confronting Environmental Racism
DESCRIPTION:Franciscan Action Network and the Franciscan Federation are pleased to present a 4-part webinar series on Confronting Environmental Racism.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom plastics to cosmetics\, fashion\, fertilizer\, and more\, petrochemicals are everywhere in our daily lives\, seeping into our air\, water\, soil\, food\, and bloodstreams. As the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy proceeds\, many corporations are trying to ramp up petrochemical and plastic production to stay in business. While all Americans are affected\, some communities are affected much more than others. As Franciscans\, we are called to stand with our sisters and brothers who have been most directly affected. \n\n\n\nThe oil\, gas and petrochemical industry have long placed their facilities in areas inhabited by Black\, Brown\, Indigenous\, or poor communities deemed “sacrifice zones.” It’s time for us to stand with communities on the frontlines of this environmental racism. \n\n\n\nThe centerpiece of our series will be three short documentaries\, “Big Oil’s Last Lifeline\,” produced by Hip Hop Caucus. At three of our four gatherings\, we will view one 20-minute long documentary and hear from a speaker in one of the “sacrifice zones” in the U.S.–Houston\, Louisiana\, and West Virginia–while at the fourth we will discuss advocacy options with experienced activists. \n\n\n\nTogether\, we will learn how the petrochemical industry violates laws and regulations with impunity\, leading to the unconscionable – dumping cancer-causing pollution into the air\, water\, and soil – and what can be done to address this situation. \n\n\n\nNOTE: There are four sessions. Each session will be one-hour beginning at 4 pm Eastern / 1 pm Pacific. Attend one or more if you wish. The fourth session will be a discussion with climate activists. \n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Writing from Nature Retreat: Practices in Ecopoetics & Slow Seeing
DESCRIPTION:What happens when we spiritually connect with our natural environment? How do we record these experiences in words? How do we communicate those moments to others through poetry? What do we come to learn about ourselves through realizing our place in the natural world? \n\n\n\nThis weekend retreat at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) will be facilitated by David Duer and Cecile Goding. It  will include three components: learning (looking at forms\, techniques\, other poets)\, practicing (writing from prompts and from our direct engagement with the woods and prairie) and responding (sharing and discussing our work with others). The over-arching goal is\, as Thoreau says\, to return to our senses. Or to take ourselves to a place where\, as Annie Dillard writes in Pilgrim at Tinker Creek\, we are “gazing beyond … into the realm of the real where subjects and objects act and rest purely.”  \n\n\n\nThe cost of this weekend retreat is $230 and includes sessions\, lodging and all meals. The commuter fee is $180 and includes sessions and all meals. A non-refundable deposit of $25 is required at registration. (Full payment is required to register online. If you prefer to pay the $25 registration fee now and the balance when you arrive\, please call 319-395-6700.) If you want to stay in a Hermitage\, you also will need to register by phone. If you have dietary restrictions that affect your health\, please list them on the next screen. \n\n\n\n\nRegister
