Rewilding the Light, Quaker Eco-Spirituality
Sponsor(s):
In the first of our 2025 Eva Koch Scholar presentations, Jeanne Marie Mudd will share her work on compiling the variety of Friends’ expression of eco-spirituality and how this offers a practical theology for all who discern a concern for creation care.
ReWilding captures the fire of comprehensive conservation and restoration of biodiverse ecological systems. The term has also been popularised as a metaphor for reawakening and reclaiming generative, spiritual practices that connect us to the universal light, to our earth and cosmos, to ourselves and to one another.
Within this project will be ancient and emergent Quaker writings, global eco spiritual practices enabling an inspirational ReWilding window into how we are part of and care for all ecological systems and to ensure these practices and stories are available for our wider Quaker Fellowship. Included in this project are an exploration into forms of community building that foster creation care through prayer and meditation, direct action, creative expression, poetry, prose, dance and music.
