Oct. 18 – Rev. Sam Harrelson: ‘What We Notice, What We Owe’
What might paying close attention to a tree teach us about how we live with one another and with the more-than-human world? Drawing from a daily practice of sitting with a black walnut tree, the landscapes and watersheds of the Carolinas, and the UU commitment to an interdependent world, Sam Harrelson will explore attention not as a way of mastering what we encounter, but as a practice of relationship, humility, and care.
Rev. Sam Harrelson is an ordained Cooperative Baptist Fellowship minister, educator, writer, and PhD candidate in Ecology, Spirituality, and Religion at the California Institute of Integral Studies. His research explores ecological intentionality, phenomenology, theology, and how practices of attention might reshape human relationships with the more-than-human world. A graduate of Wofford College and Yale Divinity School, he lives in Spartanburg, S.C., with his wife, Merianna, and their family. He writes about ecology, religion, and place at CarolinaEcology.com and shares public field notes from his ongoing research at EcologicalIntentionality.org.
