Join Jeff Corwin on an Alaskan adventure to conserve North America's birds. He explores the Tongass National Forest, a vast old-growth temperate rainforest critical for species like the goshawk and vital for carbon sequestration. This unique ecosystem supports diverse wildlife, despite past logging impacts.

Corwin also visits the Alaska Raptor Center, where he helps rehabilitate and release a young bald eagle named Diesel. Rescued after being hit by a car, Diesel's recovery highlights the center's work in returning iconic raptors, including bald eagles and goshawks, to their natural habitat.

Rashid Hughes facilitated an experiential contemplative practice called R.E.S.T. at our Fellowship Forum. This practice explores the intersections of liberation and contemplative work, serving as an antidote to systems of capitalism and white supremacy.

R.E.S.T. emphasizes skillfully unhooking from patterns of striving and obsessive seeking. It offers a path to liberation rooted in resting and being aware, inviting all to reconnect with grace by resting while fully awake.

The Anishinaabe Seven Sacred Laws, shared by Elder Nii Gaani Aki Inini (Dr. Dave Courchene), form the foundation of life and connection to Spirit and land. Represented by seven animals, these laws offer guidance for living on Mother Earth, fostering a vision of hope rooted in kindness and values.

Each animal embodies a specific teaching: the Buffalo for Respect, Eagle for Love, Bear for Courage, Sabé for Honesty, Beaver for Wisdom, Wolf for Humility, and Turtle for Truth. These principles guide us to live from the heart, use our gifts for community, and honor our interconnectedness.

By embracing these Sacred Laws, we align with nature, achieve true freedom, and receive the full support of the universe and Earth.
