We’ll draw from economics and ecology on a quest to unlearn the limiting ways of thinking that have been passed down to us, exploring instead the wisdom of trees whose root systems have different lessons to share about creating a more just and compassionate way of being together.
Speaker; Rev Eve Stevens
Eve grew up in the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Clemson, SC where she discovered her love of congregational life and began to consider ministry. She ventured to upstate New York for college, studied history and met her husband, Steve.
