About this Event
Author Leah Rampy shares her award winning book, Earth & Soul, and discusses its call to renew a deep and personal relationship with Earth in response to accelerating climate devastation and an uncertain future.
In Earth & Soul: Reconnecting Amid Climate Chaos, Rampy faces directly into the devastation of climate chaos and biodiversity loss to lead her readers on a soul journey into grief, and to claim the beauty, joy and possibilities available when we reconnect with Earth. As we follow the author’s compelling personal experiences and engagingly lyrical stories of whales, cedars, sparrows, and more, we see the necessity and urgency of learning from the wisdom of our kin in the natural world.
Leah Rampy became convinced, after giving numerous presentations on the dangers of climate change, that something was missing from the conversations. With experience as a teacher, professor, corporate and nonprofit executive, and leadership consultant, she began a decades-long journey to understand what lies beneath our unwillingness to change our interactions with the natural world. Her growing commitment to reweaving soul and Earth has been informed by leading over a dozen pilgrimages and many more retreats, extensive reading and research, her contemplative practice, and the wisdom of the living world. Leah lives in a cohousing community in Shepherdstown, WV, with her husband David. They have two adult children.
