SUMMARY:Sunday Platform with Carey Russell: ‘Land Ethics Trilogy\, Part III: Creating a Daily Practice’
DESCRIPTION:The third and final talk explores how we can all strive to integrate land ethics and an ecological conscience into our daily lives\, including those of us who live in an urban environment. The Deep Ecology movement\, or what poet Gary Snyder calls The Practice of the Wild\, endeavors to gain traction at the level of society. But in order to do so\, it much first express itself in the imaginations and routine practices of individuals. Let’s explore in concrete terms how everyone can take immediate steps toward cultivating a closer\, deeper\, and long-term relationship with land and nature. \nAbout Carey Russell\nCarey is a naturalist\, photographer\, and filmmaker. He founded The Dendro Lab\, a platform to foster a broader public awareness of trees and forest ecology. As a photographer he is the author of The New Arcadians: Photographs from Scout Camp. As a filmmaker\, he has worked with director\, Terrence Malick\, as an associate producer and editor of The New World; assisted cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki on The Tree of Life; and directed and photographed the 10-part documentary series Tibetan Stories. Carey holds a master’s degree in forestry and is a member of the International Dendrology Society. He’s a certified Interpretive Guide through the National Association for Interpretation and a certified Master Naturalist in New York state where he is also a licensed trail guide. He lives in New York City where he can often be found botanizing in Central Park and leading tree walks to pass this literacy onto others. \nWatch Carey’s August 2024 Sunday Platform: ‘Land Ethics Trilogy Pt.

SUMMARY:Ethics and the Theater Encore: Summer\, 1976
DESCRIPTION:Our long-running staged reading and talkback series continues with David Auburn’s Summer\, 1976 \nJoin us for a reception 30 minutes before showtime\, and for a post-reading talkback with the cast and director exploring the ethical questions raised by the play. \nAbout Summer\, 1976\nA deeply moving\, tenderly insightful play about friendship\, memory\, and the small moments that can change the course of our lives forever. Over one fateful summer\, an unlikely friendship develops between Diana\, a fiercely iconoclastic artist and single mom\, and Alice\, a free-spirited yet naive young housewife. As the Bicentennial is celebrated across the country\, these two young women in Ohio navigate motherhood\, ambition and intimacy\, and help each other discover their own independence. \nProduced by Patricia Bruder Debrovner. \nRSVP\nRSVP Here
