Climate change is here and our weather systems are going haywire and much sooner than predicted.  Out of control wildfires are burning down vast forestland, incinerating thousands of homes, and destroying whole towns. Hurricanes and rising seas are battering coastal cities and flooding rivers are inundating inland communities.  The worst heat waves and droughts ever recorded are threatening our global food system.  All made worse by a pandemic with no end in sight.

One of the people we interviewed in making The Wisdom To Survive, our first climate film, was a young woman from the Navajo Nation.  She gave us a key to understanding the deeper meaning of what we are now witnessing.  She told us that these climate disasters are “Mother Earth crying out for help because we’re killing her to make a profit.”  We’re being called to awaken to a transformative truth while we still have time: just as we rely on own mothers to nourish us before we’re born and sustain us after we’re born, in the same way, we are intimately related to Mother Earth herself.  And our fate is bound up with hers.

In our latest release, Climate Crisis As Spiritual Path, Joanna Macy, founding teacher of “The Work That Reconnects,” is also calling us to awaken to who we really are.
