This evening will be dedicated to the reading and commenting of Margaret Bullitt-Jonas’ essay, “Climate Change, Addiction, and Spiritual Liberation,” which highlights the urgent need for a transformation of society to preserve a habitable planet for human beings. Drawing on her personal journey of recovery from addiction and decades of climate activism, she explores how understanding addiction and recovery dynamics can inform our efforts to protect the web of life.
This essay has the potential to be a seminal reference for transformation, especially when discussed at McGowan House, a place of transition, spirituality and healing. Let’s explore how this text can help us actualize the potential of this place as a transformative force for our community and beyond.
