Session Description:

We are thrilled to welcome Lyanda Lynn Haupt as the speaker for Session 3—award-winning author, naturalist, and ecophilosopher—for a deeply reflective session at the Annual Environment & Spirituality Summit.

Through books like Rooted, Crow Planet, and The Urban Bestiary, Lyanda has invited readers into a richer, more intimate relationship with the living world—one that honors the crossroads of science, nature, and spirit. With poetic prose and grounded ecological insight, her work helps us remember that wildness is not separate, but ever-present in our daily lives, even in urban places.

In this session, offered in connection with our 2025 Summit theme “Strong and Supported,” Lyanda will guide us in exploring how the natural world sustains us—and how attentiveness, kinship, and wonder can support our spiritual and ecological resilience. From birds to moss, starlings to silence, her reflections offer a gentle yet urgent call to return to the wild wisdom that surrounds us.

Join us for an hour of quiet beauty and shared inquiry into what it means to be rooted—together—with the Earth.
