DECOLONISING SPIRITUAL ECOLOGY

For February’s Spiritual Ecology Study Club, we’re going to dive into decolonial thought, particularly untangling colonial, cisheteropatriarchal, and supremacist ideals within “spiritual ecology” communities and areas of thought.

Among other things, this may include interrogating ecofeminism for occasionally playing into biological essentialism, deconstructing nature-as-saviour mentalities or the human/nature binary, investigating how ideas of “nature” have been created, and by whom, considering the ways in which our own movements and spaces perpetuate oppressive ideologies, and imagining just futures liberated from oppressive paradigms. We’ll get our hands in the dirt and do our best to pull the plant up by the roots, and, maybe, plant something that will grow.
