When the ancients referred to the
basic elements of life, the stuff of the universe,
they spoke in terms of Earth, Air, Fire & Water.
The sun was often worshipped. The clean air blew in
their faces and they breathed deeply. Pure water was
precious and all land was sacred. Now at the beginning
of the 21 century, we cannot help but ask what has
happened? The weather has become more violent. The
rains have diminished greatly. Our lakes and rivers
are disappearing. In many places the water and air
are unsafe to drink or breathe and the land itself
appears tortured and is dying. What has happened?
The Nevada desert is a land of great
beauty and harshness, of gentle delicacies and very
sharp and pointed edges. Living here, we know the
fire of the summer sun, the importance
of life giving water, the winds and the beauty of
the land and its mountains. Sadly even with its unique
capacity for survival our Nevada desert is now threatened.
What can we do?
Please join us beginning Friday, March
14 and Saturday, March 15 for a time of
thoughtful conversation and community building. While
focusing on environmental
issues we will do the important work of inner dialogue
also so that we might walk
more gently on our journey and learn to act with thoughtful
recognition of our need
to renew and sustain our environment.
Our time together will be spent in
a series of workshops and plenary (large group) sessions.
We will have lunch as a community enjoying good food
and conversation. In the afternoon we will join together
in a special and reflective Cosmic Walk.
We will also look at some of the tougher issues which
we cannot responsibly avoid if we are serious about
undertaking the work of environmental justice.
Since 1982, Nevada Desert Experience
has worked for environmental justice focusing on the
great injustice of nuclear weapons and the degradation
of all of humanity and the earths ecological
systems, as a direct result of this deadly and poisonous
nuclear technology.
The suggested donation for adults
