SUMMARY:Germinating Conversations Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:How do we listen to those who are different from us? \nListening well and holding space for others in a world where we are increasingly defined by our differences is becoming ever more crucial. \nNearly a decade ago\, the Germinating Conversations initiative began nurturing relationships between Manitoba food growers and eaters by paying close attention to the art of listening well. \nGerminating Conversations\, the book\, emerged from that initiative. Join us on June 3rd to celebrate many years of dialogue and relationship building\, as reflected in this new book. Participants of Germinating Conversations will speak to their involvement in the initiative over the years and imagine possibilities for future dialogue and engagement with the new book. \nYou can purchase a copy of the book through CommonWord Bookstore and Resource Centre. \nThis event is supported through a partnership between A Rocha Canada\, Canadian Foodgrains Bank\, Canadian Mennonite University\, and Mennonite Central Committee Manitoba. \n\nPlease register below to get the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Ecological Grief and Exploring Hope Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Image Courtesy of Bob Haverluck\, “When God was Flesh and Wild: Stories in Defence of the Earth” (2017 \, Liturgical Press).\nJoin us for a panel discussion on Ecological Grief and Exploring Hope in partnership with Canadian Mennonite University on Wednesday April 28th at 7 pm\, (CST) via zoom. \nThe climate crisis is a pressing matter. As we are witnesses to the many ways the Earth has been exploited and damaged\, how do we hold space for the sorrow\, anger\, and guilt we may feel? Ecological grief is one of the ways of acknowledging and mourning the land\, people\, plants\, and animals which we have lost to climate change. Lament is a powerful communal act that helps us acknowledge sorrow and leads us away from despair. Ultimately\, lament is a profoundly hopeful act that provides us with a way forward\, knowing that change is possible through new ways of being and faith in the God of Creation. Through taking the time to mourn the earth\, we step forward in hope and action towards restoration and new life\, for the land and for ourselves as human beings.  \nInspired by an Independent Study on Ecological Grief at Canadian Mennonite University\, Kari Miller\, A Rocha Manitoba’s Environmental Education Coordinator\, will host a discussion exploring our grief and hope for creation amidst the climate crisis. \nSpeakers include:  \n\nMarta Bunnett Wiebe – Peace and Advocacy Coordinator with MCC Manitoba\, farmer\, and editor of the new book Germinating Conversations; Stories from a Sustained Rural-Urban Dialogue on Food\, Faith\, and the Land\nBob Haverluck – local artist\, theologian\, and ecological activist who uses storytelling and art to engage issues of violence against the earth and her creatures.\nZoe Matties – Program Manager for A Rocha Manitoba\, and co-founder of Wild Church Winnipeg an emerging community of worship.\nJosiah Neufeld – a local journalist and fiction writer who has spent much time thinking and acting upon the global climate crisis.\n\nThis event is free.

SUMMARY:A Rocha Talks: Earthkeeping in the City - From backyard composting to electric vehicles
DESCRIPTION:Join us to explore the myriad ways that creation care can happen right where you are in the city. \nAbout this event\nA Rocha Canada invites you to join our ongoing series of A Rocha Talks. \nIn North American culture we tend to consider nature as opposite to civilization. We’ve often said nature is where humans are not. But in Genesis humans are created as an intrinsic part of creation. Throughout Scripture all the residents of our earth home\, plants\, animals\, and humans\, share a common\, intertwined past and future. Today\, we see creation flourishing and languishing alongside humans in forests\, alpine meadows\, parks\, suburbs and cities. \nGiven that over 70% of Canada’s population and 55% of the global population lives in cities\, city life has an enormous impact on the earth. How do we learn to live with creation in the ways we eat\, travel\, work and play in our urban homes? How does our faith and the care of the earth come together in an urban setting? \nThis panel will explore how we can engage caring for creation in the city. We will hear how each panellist is navigating this challenge in their own lives. We hope you’ll join us in the conversation! \nOur panelists: \nTeresa Prokopanko (yes\, it’s phonetic) loves dirt and hopes you will too! She is a Compost Program Coordinator at Green Action Centre in her day job\, and is a mom – well\, all the time. Teresa lives in Winnipeg with her husband and toddler daughter. They enjoy discussing city planning\, loafing at the lake\, volunteering at church\, and going on local people-powered adventures together. \nPaul Loewen rides an electric unicycle (google it) to work\, including many days during Winnipeg’s winter last year. He’s well aware that it’ll be hard to convince everyone else to do the same\, and so electric vehicles fall into the overlap between two of his passions: technology and reducing carbon emissions. He lives in Winnipeg with his wife\, Jeanette\, and their three boys. They plan to own an EV within 3-5 years–if people still own their own vehicles by then. \nAndrea Ramos Santos rides her bike as much as she can around Vancouver\, but she is still adapting to the winter in Canada (it’s hard for a Brazilian!). She is passionate about nature\, birds\, and trees\, which lead her to study ecology. She worked for A Rocha in Brazil before moving to Canada with her husband Gustavo. Both studied at Regent College\, and now they are learning how to live as typical Pacific Northwest dwellers. \nThe panel discussion will be hosted by Zoe Matties\, Manitoba Program Manager. \nThis event is free and open to the public.\n \nPowered by Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Silence in the Seasons Mini Retreat (Manitoba)
DESCRIPTION:A “mini” Silence in the Seasons in the City:\nDue to the current pandemic and phase 2 protocols outlined by the provincial government we are not able to offer our Silence in the Seasons Retreat. However I would like to invite you to consider joining me in a mini Silence in the Seasons at the Carol Shield’s Labyrinth in Kings Park. \nDate/Time: June 13\, 2020 9am-10am  \nWhere: Carol Shields Labyrinth at Kings Park \n Contact us here to RSVP ×RSVP404\nSorry\, an error occurred.\n\n\n	Sorry\, this form has been permanently removed.\n\n\n[/modal]\nClose\n  \nKristi Degenhardt\, a friend of A Rocha\, writes brief description of a labyrinth: \nAs a spiritual tool\, a labyrinth represents a guided prayer walk. In contrast to a maze that has dead ends and choices to make along the way\, a labyrinth is a single path to the centre. \nInstead of a pilgrimage to Jerusalem\, or the Camino de Santiago\, medieval churches started to create labyrinths that parishioners could use closer to home. Whether inlaid in stone in the sanctuary or courtyard\, or crafted into a garden\, faithful seekers could easily access it. \nStart your labyrinth walk by setting an intention. Perhaps it’s a very specific question for God/Spirit/Creator\, perhaps it’s a music lyric that has been stuck in your head\, maybe a line of Scripture that inspires or troubles you. It might be a deep breath alongside “what do you want me to hear/see/ponder today.” It could be a decision you’re wrestling with\, or a person you are having a hard time forgiving. \nAnd then deliberately walk towards the centre. If you’re walking with others\, there will be some shuffling as you pass one another. Take note of what your senses are telling you. Maybe you repeat your intention as a mantra to stay focused\, maybe you free your mind to safely wander the path that your intention has set. \nOnce you come to the centre\, do what feels right. Close your eyes\, whisper a prayer\, leave a rock or flower\, pause a moment. Maybe you add a layer to your intention\, a follow up question\, or a repeat of the initial question. \nAnd then walk back out\, taking note of when you make the final step. \nIf the labyrinth is grass or sand\, consider walking it barefoot. If it’s in a public place\, determine whether it seems safe to leave your jacket/bag/extras on the ground and walk unencumbered. Allow yourself time to jot down some thoughts or images in a journal. \nAnd then continue about your day. \nhttp://www.carolshieldslabyrinth.ca/ \nPlease  RSVP here ×RSVP404\nSorry\, an error occurred.\n\n\n	Sorry\, this form has been permanently removed.\n\n\n[/modal]\nClose\nPlease use the Manitoba Self Screening tool before coming to this event.

SUMMARY:Christmas Bird Count Trial (Manitoba)
DESCRIPTION:As part of its mandate to care for creation\, A Rocha Manitoba is seeking to run a trial of a “Christmas Bird Count” (CBC) in the vicinity of the Boreal Ecology Centre in East Braintree\, Manitoba this coming January 3\, 2020.  We are seeking participants who have an interest in birds and who would be willing to commit to being part of bird-observing teams driving and walking routes in the area from approximately 8:30am-4:30pm. Dinner at the lodge to follow.  \nWe are seeking two categories of participants\, all who must be willing to be outside for most of the day (combination of some driving\, and frequent stops and longer walks – and times for snack breaks and lunch for course!) \n\n1) Participants who are able to assist with recording observations on CBC forms\, pointing out potential birds\, driving\, managing snacks in a vehicle etc. but who may not be confident to accurately identify birds \n\n2) Participants who are confident to be able to identify by sight and sound most of the bird species we could encounter in East Braintree.
