The GTU, in collaboration with the Peder Sather Center for Advanced Study of UC Berkeley, is pleased to announce a three-day long workshop on environmental change and ritualized relationships with the other-than-human world. Jointly funded by REDO, a University of Oslo research network sponsored by the Norwegian Research Council, and co-hosted by UC Berkeley, the workshop explores some of the new ontologies that have been developed in the social sciences over the past two decades, which are revising and revisiting animism, materialism, and religion in new and original ways.

The GTU's Mira and Ajay Shingal Center for Dharma Studies presents His Grace Gauranga Dasa Prabhu speaking on sustainable living as showcased by the Govardhan Ecovillage in India. Response by Devin Zuber of the Center for Swedenborgian Studies.
