A contemplative retreat on ecowomanism and the environment with Rev. Dr. Melanie Harris 

Wednesday, Sept 10
Noon to 2pm ET

Join us for a two-hour retreat that will help you find your way. We live in a time of an increasing climate crisis and catastrophe, and at the same time, we all have stories of deep love and care for our earth. Together, we’ll explore stories and meditations on hope and on loss that can ground and guide us to be loving stewards of our planet.

Rev. Dr. Melanie L. Harris will lead this retreat, offering a foundation of ecowomanist wisdom along with contemplative practices that can help us be with the challenges and possibilities of our times. Monasteries of the Heart is grateful to offer this amid the Season of Creation, a time for Christians to come together in prayer and action for Creation.  

Harris is Professor of Black Feminist and Womanist Theologies jointly appointed with African American Studies at Wake Forest University. She also serves as the Director of Food, Health and Ecological Well Being at Wake Forest University. Dr. Harris’ scholarship critically examines intersections between race, religion, gender and environmental ethics. She is the author of Gifts of Virtue: Alice Walker and Womanist Ethics (Palgrave), Ecowomanism: Earth Honoring Faiths (Orbis) and co-editor of Faith, Feminism, and Scholarship: The Next Generation (Palgrave).
