EcoSpiritual Video Diaries for Teens

As we continue to develop resources for learning and engaging in our climate-changed world, The BTS Center is aware that those who work with youth face particular challenges. How do we offer grounded, compelling practices for young people that feel relevant and useful to their particular contexts? How do we engage young people around their own concerns for their futures and the future of the planet in a way that is spiritually rich and resonant?

Ophelia Hu Kinney has developed this unique resource with those questions in mind. Over the course of four weeks, this resource offers guidance to lead a group of teens through the process of creating Instagram video diaries, connecting with one another and with individuals and groups doing ecospiritual work in the world.
