Women and the Environment (Kendyl, Monica, Faith)

How does gender intersect with the environment and spirituality? In this workshop, we will discuss the concept of ecowomanism, which, as explained by Rev. Dr. Melanie L.

Drawing upon African cosmology these perspectives understand the earth as sacred.”

During this workshop, you will find out more about the top environmental issues in Virginia surrounding climate disruption and energy use and how your faith community can get involved.

What does it look like to view environmental issues through a justice and moral frame? This workshop will dig into environmental disparities and their causes in Virginia and the United States.
