Terry is a volunteer regional organizer for Dogwood Initiative and has a long history of activism dating back to the 60s. After retiring as a VP academic of an Ontario college, she spent two weeks in the tar-sands in 2013 and came back a changed woman. As a cancer survivor and volunteer, she also feels a sense of urgency. 　It’s not easy to be hopeful these days, but Terry draws on her Christian roots, Buddhist meditation practice, science/cosmology, and her relationships with people to sustain her.　 She’ll share her personal story and why she loves to organize local citizens to take back decision-making power over their land, air, and water.

Our survival depends on integrating our feelings, intuition, and rational mind with love and respect of the natural world. This service lays out practical steps to deepen our personal connections with the world outside and within. In a later service, Re-enchanting the Collective, we plan to look at how our congregation and similar groups can provide the support the community needs as we approach more difficult times. The service will be offered by Ben Dolf, a member of the congregation.
