We are of Earth: Nature's wildness is our wildness

In Peterborough, New Hampshire, The Mariposa Museum and World Culture Center hosts A Cooler World and Warmer People — Healing a Planet in Distress by Healing our Relationships with Thomas Moore and Hari Kirin on Wednesday 4 November 2015 at 7:00 p.m.

"What are some strategies for better human relationships that would translate to a better common life with the planet?

We have a tendency to take out our anger and frustration on beings dependent on us — children, animals and the natural world. We don’t respect them or love them fully. So, how do you deal with chronic anger? How can we ease our frustration?

Nature is both lovable and scary. We have a beautiful autumn and California has drought and fires. It doesn’t do to romanticize nature. Nature’s wildness is our wildness. We are afraid of it and want to keep it controlled. Maybe, if we had a better connection with our strong passions and fears, we’d deal with the natural world more effectively." 

Admission: $10, free for members.
