Remembering Earth: An Evening in London
St Ethelburga’s Centre for Reconciliation and Peace
We live in a time when ecological and cultural crises are deepening and our primordial bond with the Earth is veiled. How can we begin to cultivate a love and reverence for the living world in both our inner and outer lives?
This October, Emergence founder and Sufi teacher Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee will give an evening lecture at St Ethelburga’s Centre for Reconciliation and Peace in London on spiritual ecology as a foundation for a moral and ethical framework rooted in interconnectedness, kinship, reciprocity, compassion, and reverence. Drawing from his new book, Remembering Earth (Shambhala Publications, June 2026), Emmanuel will explore how this framework can begin to emerge through embodied practices of remembrance, praise, and intimacy with the living world.
