Eco Grief: Love, Loss, and Lament

 

 

In Fall 2024, the Brueggeman Center is launching a year-long series on ecological grief and lament as one response to Pope Francis’ call to ecological conversion through a transformation of heart and mind. Our hope is that by naming our losses, and grieving our complicity in ecological devastation, we will emerge with softer hearts and a renewed commitment to participating in the renewal of creation. 

We have partnered with several departments and organizations at Xavier University to create a series of "Eco Grief" events that will use artistic expression (music, fine art, writing, film making) to explore the path from grief and loss toward lamentation and hope. 

For updates on this program series, follow @ecogriefxu on Instagram. More information will be shared as the event details are solidified.
