Light the way into 2026’s Year of the Fire Horse – join a 2-hour immersive practice for renewal, connection, and collective liberation.

With the time of midwinter and the approach of the Year of the Fire Horse, the invitation to set our intentions for our individual and collective work is upon us. While the past year may have felt the heaviness of the world and chose to look inward and perhaps even go underground, now is the time to alight our connections with all sentient beings. The work of liberation requires going beyond our boundaries of comfort and needs to include all beings. During this two-hour webinar session, we will engage in lecture, practice, and experiential exercise that support widening our circles for collective liberation. Participants should be prepared to work with challenging material, encounter difficult and joyful emotions, engage in experiential practices including meditation and dialogue, and to be in respectful, compassionate community.

Symposium on Spirituality and the Environment 2026
2026-02-01 13:30 - 15:30 | Congregation Har HaShem, 3950 Baseline Rd, Boulder, CO, 80303, United States
Symposium on Spirituality and the Environment 2026:Climate Grief, Spiritual Resilience, and Hope
When: Feb 1, 1:30-3:30pm
Where: Congregation Har Hashem
REGISTER HERE!

No longer can we think of climate change as something that’s off in the future — scientists’ prediction of something that is coming. We are living in a climate-changed world. Where shall we find the wisdom we need for the living of our days? How shall we think about hope now? And what practices might we embrace to nurture the spiritual resilience we need for this season that is so fraught with challenges and so filled with opportunity?
During this year’s Symposium on Spirituality and the Environment, Rev. Dr. Allen Ewing-Merrill, Executive Director of The BTS Center, will invite us to explore the psycho-social-spiritual dimensions of the climate crisis, the array of climate emotions — climate anxiety, ecological grief, and moral injury — as well as the invitation to practices of gratitude, wonder, and hope. We’ll consider how Creation invites us into relationships as healer, teacher, and friend.
We hope you join us as we navigate this turbulent & uncertain time in all our lives.
We’ll be gathering together in person. This program will also be livestreamed on our YouTube channel.

The Symposium will focus on bringing people together to explore perspectives on environmentalism from faith and spiritual traditions. We bring forward teachers, academics, faith-based activists in dialogue and shared learning. Our hope: greater understanding leading to greater engagement in acts of environmental protection and justice.
This year, we welcome Rev. Dr. Allen Ewing-Merrill, Executive Director of the BTS Center.
“Inspired by the vision of human hearts renewed, justice established, and creation restored, we are paying particular attention to deep and important questions about global climate crisis and the ways in which that must inform and transform spiritual practice and faith leadership — and of course, how ecological devastation also intersects with other issues of social justice, spirituality, and the practice of faith.” – Rev. Dr. Allen Ewing-Merrill

A Night of Film, Mind-Blowing Prophecy, and a Journey into the Unknown
From the executive producer team of Peter Farrelly (Green Book), Rough House Pictures (Danny McBride, David Gordon Green, Jody Hill), and Area 23a (Fantastic Fungi)—comes a cinematic experience unlike anything you’ve seen before.
This isn’t just a screening. It’s a live event.
Join spiritual journeyman Patrick McCollum, acclaimed director Gabe Polsky, and special guests at The Boulder Theatre for an unforgettable evening of film, storytelling, and conversation. Meet the documentary’s extraordinary subject in person: kung fu master, U.N. peacekeeper, Wiccan chaplain, and the man prophesied to save the Amazon. Boulder Sound Therapy will open the evening with an immersive sound bath that invites guests into an almost otherworldly calm, setting the tone for a night where boundaries between the seen and unseen begin to blur.
The Story
When director Gabe Polsky gets swept into Patrick McCollum’s orbit, it sparks a globe-spanning adventure where the absurd and the profound collide. Along the way, they cross paths with legends like Jane Goodall and Chief Phil Lane Jr., uncovering a mission that might just be crazy enough to save the planet.
The Man Who Saves the World? is a bold documentary that blends spiritual prophecy, environmental urgency, and character study into something entirely unique. It explores humanity’s biggest questions with humor, heart, and surreal twists that will leave you laughing, questioning, and seeing the world through new eyes.

What do art, science, and eBird sightings all have in common?
Join us for an engaging presentation by Dr. Johanna Beam, who will share her journey from teen naturalist to research scientist and scientific illustrator. Johanna will explore how eBird data are used by scientists and artists alike, including how these data have helped illuminate species’ ranges and evolutionary history—highlighted through the Yellow-breasted Chat and the discovery of the Chihuahuan Meadowlark.
Dr. Beam is a postdoctoral research fellow at Colorado State University and Texas Tech University, working with the Bird Genoscape Project. Her research focuses on evolutionary genomics in birds, and she is also an accomplished scientific illustrator. As a high school student, Johanna’s careful observation of an unusual meadowlark led to a genetic study that ultimately contributed to the recognition of a new bird species added to the official North American species list in 2022.

Where: Virtual
REGISTER HERE!

Across the country, immigrant communities are under attack and authoritarian forces are gaining ground. But there’s a growing movement of people ready to take action with clarity, courage, and discipline. This training is for all of us who want to stand up in solidarity, especially those of us who are white who are ready to organize, respond, and show up with commitment and care.
Join us for Solidarity Mobilizations, a powerful two-part training series hosted by Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) and Solidarity Organizing Initiative (SOI). We’ll break down the political moment we’re in, the authoritarian playbook driving these attacks, and the role those of us who are white and/or citizens can play in pushing back effectively and strategically.
Each session will have live transcription and will be recorded. The recording will be sent out to everyone who registers within 48 hours after each session.
In the first session, you will:

Learn to recognize and anticipate “Moments of Crisis” — and why they’re central to the authoritarian strategy
Understand how direct support and crisis response work together in immigrant justice organizing
Get grounded in the principles of strategic noncooperation and how it builds people power

In the second session, you will:

Learn how to provide direct support for immigrant communities
Get clear on next steps you’re taking in your community

Whether you’re brand new or have been in the fight for years, this training will give you political clarity, strategic tools, and an invitation to join us in deeper solidarity. This is just the beginning, let’s get ready together.

Join us as we break down how these accounting methods work, what’s unfolding in Colorado’s EPR implementation, and why getting this right is essential to protecting recycling integrity and driving real waste reduction.
