Here's a list of some upcoming eco-spiritual activities that may interest you. Check back, as this post will be updated during August 2026 and beyond as we get additional information. A new calendar listing will come out in late August. Don't be intimidated by the scope of this list; choose to participate in just what calls to you.
August 4, 2026, at 1 p.m. PDT- The Deep Transformation Network is having an Introduction to the Ecocivilization Coalition webinar. Find out about the Ecocivilization Coalition: its vision and strategies—and how you can engage. Jeremy Lent and DTN formed the Ecocivilization Coalition as a worldwide alliance of changemakers coming together to act as a focused transformation catalyst. Our aim is to foster an alternative cohering narrative and act as connective tissue to help catalyze the movement for change—to find the most skillful ways to cohere, serve, and amplify groups already actively engaged, and to try to bring the movement itself to a new level of effectiveness and empowerment.

August 4, 2026, from 4 - 5:30 p.m. PDT - The World Institute for Science, Religion and Culture (WISR) is presenting a webinar with Pete Enns: Scripture, Mystery, and Embracing Uncertainty. This webinar will look into a fresh exploration of Scripture as a guide, not to certainty, but a pathway to a different kind of knowing where faith can flourish amid ambiguity and change. Rather than seeing uncertainty as a spiritual failure, we will explore how it can become a doorway to deeper trust, greater openness, and a richer experience of the sacred presence that permeates all things.

August 15, 2026 - One Spirit Learning Alliance invites prospective students, friends, and members of their wider community to a two-part public lecture series exploring two enduring questions of spiritual life: How do we discern a call? and What do we do when the spiritual path leads us through darkness rather than clarity?
