Earth Wisdom – Hope in Action:The ARRCC Conference will be an opportunity like no other. People of all faiths are coming together – Indigenous, Hindu, Baha’i, Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Jewish – from across the country to learn about just how we can make a difference to the climate crisis. We will pray and meditate together, hear from some of the best minds in the climate movement, and simply spend time with others who truly get it. The deadline to register is Sunday, 29th September. The caterers need to know numbers for each day. Organisers also need to match people seeking accommodation with their hosts, and other details. You’re welcome to come along for all or part of the Conference. See here for more information and to register: https://www.arrcc.org.au/conference
