Dear community,
Please join us for a panel and community discussion on the inspiring film, Kiss the Ground (trailer here) on Sunday, May 2, 1-2:30.We will be exploring how the healing potential of soil, food, and waste is already happening in our local community.
Here is the link for the panel and discussion May 2 1-2:30p.
We are excited to welcome our panelists, Brett KenCairn, Boulder’s Senior Policy Advisor for Climate and Environment for the City of Boulder, author Hunter Lovins, President and Founder of Natural Capitalism Solutions, and Phil Taylor, Executive Director and co-founder of MAD Agriculture (short bios are below).
Kiss the Ground is an award winning movie of hope. It discusses the regenerative agriculture solutions so necessary to reverse our climate trajectory. Narrated by Woody Harrelson and featuring music from Jason Mraz, the star-studded film explains why transitioning to regenerative agriculture could be key in rehabilitating the planet.
Free access to the film is offered until April 26 by our fellow environmental interfaith organization, Interfaith Power and Light. Here is the free link. If you miss this window, you can also find the film anytime on Netflix.
Whether you’ve watched the film or not, please join us virtually Sunday, May 2, 1-2:30 for our panel and discussion about what is happening and what we can do locally to help our soils.
We look forward to seeing you on May 2, celebrating our Mother Earth, and our communities!

Sincerely,
The GreenFaith Boulder County organizing committee
