Make It Sacred

The root of the problem in the sustainability crisis is a loss of the sacred. Through conversations with scientists, theologians, scholars, and thought-leaders, Make It Sacred explores the intersectionality of spirituality and sustainability and why this intersection is critical at our existential societal tipping point. Without spiritual grounding, we won’t have a commitment or political will to create hope for sustainability. Co-creation always starts with a conversation. And what are we co-creating? A spirituality-grounded passion comes from a sacred understanding of humanity and the ea

    Christina Furst — Sustainable Development, Compassion, Composting Toilets, & Living as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Malawi

    Christina is interested in the intersection of research and creativity. She is a returned Peace Corps Volunteer, where she hardened her skills improving food security and teaching small business development. Christina earned a Masters's in Global Management in Creative Industries and Design Thinking and is switching careers from marketing to being an art teacher. She loves being outside and spending time with people.  In this episode, we discuss her work in Malawi, what sustainable global development looks like, the lessons she learned from the Malawian people, and how kindness and compassion fuel change.  LINKS Donate to the SSGN SSGN Instagram On her days as a Peace Corps Volunteer: "My neighbor Rebecca came to my bedroom window and would ask me to come to get water with her. I would help her pump, and that would help her with her chores. That's how I woke most mornings, I would get up early to do work before it got too hot. I liked to only make one fire a day for cooking, and I'd prepare all my meals in the morning, cooking tea and oatmeal for breakfast and rice and beans for later in the day. Then, I would fill my day with two big activities to keep me busy. In the morning, I did work in a community group presenting a demonstration or conducting a meeting. The afternoons were spent in schools doing wildlife club activities or HIV prevention work. Days would vary a lot because my job title was so varied and broad. The work I did was always changing, especially in regards to seasons of the year."

    Tom Pliske and Martha Keys — Fire in the Forest

    “Evolution has given us the wisdom of our origin; ecology has given us the wisdom of our integral unity; and spirituality will give us the experience of clear guidance and wisdom to joyously transform ourselves and the world.” — Tom Pliske To this day, the Amazon remains the most endangered rainforest on the planet. Fire in the Forest is a role-play simulation designed to stimulate a fresh and wider understanding of the global significance of the Amazon and the urgent need to address its problems. The simulation delivers a transformative experience, empowering players to take on local or global problems and devise effective policies and courses of action. This episode discusses how Fire in the Forest catalyzes engagement in diverse, interconnected, and pressing challenges, facilitating global impact via local action. Twenty years as a teacher and counselor equipped Martha Keys to translate this goal into numerous educational programs. Tom Pliske has spent fifty years as an ecological researcher and environmental educator with decades working in Latin America and with indigenous peoples. His two recent books, Light, Truth and Nature, and A Himalayan Hope and a Himalayan Promise focus on exploring the role of humanity in global ecosystems from the viewpoints of major spiritual traditions — East, West, and Indigenous. In this conversation, we learn more about Tom and Martha's backgrounds and involvement in creating Fire in the Forest.
