We have moved our Kinship Circles to Saturdays at 4 pm Eastern. Join us for a stimulating sharing of personal encounters with animals.
Kinship with Animals
Exploring Our Regard and Disregard for the Creatures of the Earth
September 23rd, 4:00 pm ET / 10 :00 pm CET
In this gathering, we will hear and tell stories about pivotal experiences that have deepened our awareness of and solidarity with animals. For many, the joy of sharing our life with beloved pets, or caring for farm animals, or encounters with wild animals may be foremost in our hearts. Yet we will also consider the many animals who suffer grievous torments and dangers in our world – from domestic livestock trapped in the machinery of industrialized animal food production to wild animals threatened by habitat destruction, pollution, and global heating.
**Murshid warned that “unkindness towards the animals is a breach of moral law.”**Might the rise of materialism that he witnessed, rooted in a largely unconscious legacy of human supremacy, have allowed us to tacitly countenance these harms? A range of perspectives will be examined as we explore the spiritual and moral implications of our profound kinship with other animals, and with all life. More details and the Zoom Link.
