Noreen Lyons rom An Gáirdín Organic and Ecology Centre sent ECI an update on reflection days they held as part of their programme to implement Laudato Si. Between April and December of last year 2017 they hosted three day-long seminars on Laudato Si and covered topics such as:
1. Care for Our Common Home: Reconnecting with the Sacred in Nature (read their report)
2. Nurturing Nature: Exploration of the Wonders of the Natural World
3. New Stories from Nature: Thinking afresh in a Time of Climate Change.
An Gáirdín hoped to continue these reflection days on Laudato Si during 2018, so in March 2018 they hosted two workshops – How We Got Here, Understanding Climate Change on March 5th and Plastic Waste on March 10th.
Their next reflection day is on Saturday April 21st when they will be looking at Food Security and Climate Change and how one person in this country is practically meeting this challenge in his farming methods. More information on the An Gáirdín website.
