Mirian Vilela

Sustainability Leader, Educator

and Executive Director of the Earth Charter

The Earth Charter & Contributions

to Planetary Well-being

We welcome you to join us for a conversation with Mirian Vilela, a sustainability leader, educator and the Executive Director of the Earth Charter, as we both hear personal stories and larger vision around this global movement towards a more just, sustainable and peaceful world. The Earth Charter worldview "seeks to inspire in all people a new sense of global interdependence and shared responsibility for the well-being of the whole human family, the greater community of life, and future generations. It considers that the current challenges humanity is facing comes from a sense of disconnection with the essence of our lives and other beings, as well as a lack of shared values and an ethical global consciousness." But what does this really look like for our lives, our families, our workplaces, the greater than human world? How do we make such a great vision practically relevant and embodied in our everyday lives? 

The first hour of our webinar will be a chance to hear from Mirian, through a guided dialogue by Seminary of the Wild founders. Afterwards, you are invited to join a thirty minute breakout room dialogue with fellow participants, prompted by questions on the topics brought forth in her talk.
