Cultivating Connections is a grassroots, nonprofit contributing to the creation of a just and sustainable community by nurturing and celebrating our connections with each other and with our world. Cultivating Connections affirms and explores the connections between environmental sustainability, social justice and spiritual fulfillment, and the role we each are called to play in bringing forth a vibrant Earth Community, by offering workshops, study groups, retreats, conferences, sacred celebrations and other programs around the themes of environmental spirituality, personal empowerment, and the new cosmology. Previous programs from Cultivating Connections include four EarthSpirit Rising Conferences and the Julia Butterfly Hill “One Makes the Difference” tour, as well as events with Michael Dowd and Connie Barlow, Joanna Macy, Brian Swimme and Matthew Fox.
