Let’s Zoom! Zoom way out, that is. As we face the sixth great mass extinction, the tree of evolutionary life is teetering. Yet life plays the long game. In this session, we will explore the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden, the Tree of Evolutionary Life and the Unetaneh Tokef prayer of the High Holidays to zoom way out on the climate crisis and find a perspective that is broader and deeper than our individual lives or even humanity. There is much awe and wonder to be found when we learn about and imagine deep time.
