Creation Care as Self Care. #linkinbio⁠ ⁠ As the days get shorter and darker it’s worthwhile to take some time to think about the connections between creation care and self care. If you’re anything like me the increasing disaster and climate change related news often fills my mind with worry. As someone who works day in and day out on environmental issues it has been important for me to develop practices of self-care and spirit-care that sustain me for the long haul. I have also discovered that some of these practices are not only good for me, but they’re good for the planet.⁠ ⁠ Here are five self-care practices that are also creation care⁠ ⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ #arocha #arochamanitoba #arochacanada #creationcare #sustainability #watersheddiscipleship #inspiringhope #environmentalstewardship #earthkeeping #christian #selfcare
