Conversation Circles
Being Chaplains in a
Climate-Changed World

Spiritual caregivers are increasingly witnessing how a climate-changed world affects their interactions and the healing work to which they are called, in all the varied settings where that sacred work happens.

In response to the challenging realities of accelerating change, The BTS Center, in collaboration with the Chaplaincy Innovation Lab, is pleased to offer another round of Conversation Circles focused on this emerging field of practice: spiritual care in a climate-changed world. These Circles have proven to be generative and sacred spaces for finding companionship, sharing experiences, offering support, seeking inspiration, and experimenting with new practices.

Conversation Circles bring together participants from diverse sectors and geographic locations and are open to those who are seeking to explore with others the multi-faceted work of climate-conscious chaplaincy in community settings. We intend for these groups to offer support for personal and professional well-being and community-building, even as we ourselves are deeply affected by living in a climate-changed world. Additionally, these Circles offer opportunities for participants to share existing skills and develop new ones.

Conversation Circles meet in 90-minute sessions, 12 times over the course of six months. Sessions are offered on the Zoom video-conferencing platform.
