Presbyterians for Earth Care - Webinar Next Week: Your Ecological Self 馃挌


NOVEMBER WEBINAR

Coming Home to Your Ecological Self

In this webinar, you’ll hear about finding a way back home by exploring original biblical directions for our ecological selves and foundational life experiences that can open us to connecting with the God of Creation. In places of disconnection and dislocation, we will look for ways to reconnect and heal. Come, share the journey.

WEBINAR DATE: Monday, November 3, 2025
Time: 7:30 pm Eastern (6:30 Central, 5:30 Mountain, 4:30 Pacific)
PRESENTER: The Rev. Dr. Shannan Vance-Ocampo

The Rev. Dr. Shannan Vance-Ocampo has served as the General Presbyter for the Presbytery of Southern New England since August 2017. Ordained in 2001, she previously served three other calls in judicatory and congregational ministry. Her passions are for discipleship development, spiritual and social care, and intercultural ministries. She is an avid gardener and in 2026 will publish her first book, “A Garden for Renewal: Regenerative Ecological Practices for Life and Ministry” with Fortress Press.
