The Place of Our Belonging: A Work for Children and Educators Mentored by Thomas Berry

Edited by Peggy Whalen-Levitt
The Center for Education, Imagination and the Natural World, 2023

The Place of Our Belonging
is the story of an intimate communion of thought and practice, a small and deep work for children and educators, that formed as The Center for Education, Imagination and the Natural World at Timberlake Earth Sanctuary in the foothills of North Carolina from 2000-2022…How might we create a context where children could enter the depths of their own being in order to be present with the meadows and woodlands, the creeks and ponds, the wind and sun, and all the creatures of Timberlake Earth Sanctuary, just eighteen miles from the meadow of Thomas Berry’s childhood? The Place of Our Belonging takes you deep into the inner landscape of this work for children and educators, devoted to the living reality of an emergent and sacred universe.
