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. 

There is a list of events in the Eco Grief Series. For more updates, you can follow @ecogriefxu on Instagram.
