February 1 Andy Hug “Viewing Earth as a Giver of Spiritual Nourishment”
We live in a society progressively dominated by egocentric experiences: bright city lights, social media, and artificial intelligence to name a few. The last of which increasingly jeopardizes some of our greatest qualities and gifts we have to offer: authenticity and creativity. Furthermore, such experiences bear significant environmental expenses while divorcing us from the Natural World connection intrinsic to qualities such as empathy, fulfillment, and respect for ourselves, other life forms, and Earth as a whole.
In this talk, I will speak of my personal spiritual experiences in Nature, their contributions to self-actualization, and how I attempt to reconcile contributing to practices environmentally hazardous to our beloved planet.
February 8 Gregg Deal “Indigenous in Plain Sight”
Gregg Deal is a husband, father, artist and a member of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe. As a provocative contemporary artist-activist much of Deal’s work deals with Indigenous identity and pop culture, touching on issues of race relations, historical consideration and stereotype. With this work—including paintings, mural work, performance art, filmmaking and spoken word—Deal critically examines issues within Indian country such as decolonization, the Native mascot issue and appropriation.
This is a 12 pm joint service with BAH.
