This neglect of future human and more-than-human lives and communities informs our cannibalistic economics and layered ecological crises. If we tend to view the future as a receptacle for our current “externalities”\, and if we consume now the resources and ecosystems future generations will need\, then we are stealing wealth from the future to enrich us now: we have colonized the future. \nPerhaps\, then\, we should consider what it would mean to decolonize the future. How can we be good ancestors for all those who will follow us? Join us on this collaborative EcoGathering\, where we’ll explore the implications of Roman Krznaric’s conversation on Upstream. \nRecommended resources for this EcoGathering:\nUpstream Podcast: How to Be a Good Ancestor with Roman Krznaric URL:https://ecogather.ing/event/upstream-ecogathering-how-to-be-a-good-ancestor-with-roman-krznaric/ CATEGORIES:EcoGathering ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ecogather.ing/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-12-02-at-4.40.21 PM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Karachi:20250109T193000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Karachi:20250109T210000 DTSTAMP:20260407T190116 CREATED:20241126T003833Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250109T212743Z UID:101819-1736451000-1736456400@ecogather.ing SUMMARY:EcoGathering: Presence DESCRIPTION:Register!\n \n \n \n \n \n This shorter cycle’s will focus on slower\, quieter themes as we begin the new calendar year that will surely be full of more disruptions and uncertainty. As winter begins to settle in deeper for us in the northern hemisphere\, we’ll sit with the elements that accompany this time of year (but are relevant\, of course\, anywhere on Earth at any given time\, no matter your hemisphere of habitation): presence\, darkness\, and patience.

Modernity pushes us into ever more rapid performance\, consumption\, and reaction. In the accelerating chaos unfolding around us\, we can all benefit from some stillness in our lives. Whether through meditation\, prayer\, habit\, rest\, even sleep\, stillness has quite a lot to offer. \nRecommended resources for this EcoGathering:\nTodd Hannigan – Bison \nTara Brach – Guided Meditation: Opening to the Sea of Presence (19 min) \nKimberly Blaeser – About Standing (in Kinship) \nClaude Monet – Water Lilies \n  URL:https://ecogather.ing/event/ecogathering-presence/ CATEGORIES:EcoGathering ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ecogather.ing/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/05buidzovkg.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Karachi:20250115T113000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Karachi:20250115T130000 DTSTAMP:20260407T190116 CREATED:20241126T005657Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250109T170020Z UID:101834-1736940600-1736946000@ecogather.ing SUMMARY:EcoGathering: Darkness DESCRIPTION:Register!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nDarkness — non-metaphorical\, the lack of light in the physical world — is an increasingly rare phenomenon\, although it certainly feels like we have an abundnace of darnkess in these northern hemisphere winters. Darkness — metaphorical\, all the difficult things in the world – is\, unfortunately\, not an increasingly rare phenomenon. For this call\, we’ll focus mostly on the former\, but just as it’s crucial to acknowledge the necessity of darkness for the critters and habitats on Earth\, it’s neccessary to acknoledge the darkness we feel (gently\, of course — we don’t need to dive too deep into the darkness of the world).

What lessons can we and\, whether we want to or not\, must we learn from darkness\, physical and metaphorical? On this call\, we’ll figure a bit of that out together. \nRecommended resources for this EcoGathering:\nBeing With the Dark – A practice for observing darkness \nlight\, dark\, light – A song by Angie McMahon and Fred again…  \nI Pray for the Dark – A poem by Tom Hirons URL:https://ecogather.ing/event/ecogathering-darkness/ CATEGORIES:EcoGathering ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ecogather.ing/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/sg128ujzdmu.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Karachi:20250121T180000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Karachi:20250121T180000 DTSTAMP:20260407T190116 CREATED:20241126T013708Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250116T173022Z UID:101837-1737482400-1737482400@ecogather.ing SUMMARY:EcoGathering: Patience DESCRIPTION:Register!\n \n \n \n \n \n “Good things come to those who wait.” “Patience is a virtue.” Perhaps\, but at the very least we all have experienced the necessary practice of patience in our own lives. On our final call of this shortened cycle\, we’ll convene around the practice and lessons of patience\, which can feel especially challenging when we feel so much urgency. \nRecommended resources for this EcoGathering:\nThe Times are Urgent: Let’s Slow Down – Bayo Akomolafe \nTaking Just a Little Bit of Time – Guy Davis \nPatience – The Lumineers URL:https://ecogather.ing/event/ecogathering-patience/ CATEGORIES:EcoGathering ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ecogather.ing/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/91ss5scorny.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250129T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250129T150000 DTSTAMP:20260407T190116 CREATED:20250108T180059Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250123T182313Z UID:101839-1738157400-1738162800@ecogather.ing SUMMARY:EcoGathering: Conquerers DESCRIPTION:Register!\n \n \n \n \n \n Humans are offered – forced into\, really – relatively few roles and identities in modernity. On this first call\, we’ll unpack how we’ve been made to live as conquerers\, occupiers\, Homo colossus\, separated from and domineering over the living world. Our population\, our consumption\, and the myths we’ve been offered all inform this role we can choose to resist. \nRecommended resources for this EcoGathering:\n \nGenghis Khan (Part 2) – How to Take Over the World podcast \nConquerors and Culture – National Geographic \n \n  URL:https://ecogather.ing/event/ecogathering-conquerers/ CATEGORIES:EcoGathering ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ecogather.ing/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/jfowjsakux0.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
