Workshop Title: “We Stand on Their Shoulders”
In this highly interactive workshop the participants will discuss ways that Latinos have been living sustainably for thousands of years, due in large part to our spiritual relationship with the earth and all its inhabitants. Participants will leave the workshop with specific strategies to meet the challenges of “living green”. Bring to this workshop personal stories of your ancestors and how they lived green. Come with an open heart and a commitment to listen to each other with the intention of learning.
