Visions of Guatemala—People, Ceremony, and Cloud Forests

Join the Climate Cafe Multifaith June 20th and share a conversation about tapirs, cloud forests and volcanic lakes—this is the world of story that Jorge Rodriguez brings to life as a Guatemalan-based photo-journalist and environmentalist. Rodriguez is drawn to stories as a way to share the breath-taking landscapes and stirring ancestral ceremonies of the land and people of central America. He writes in both Spanish and English and now travels internationally to share stories of inspiration, restoration, and indigenous wisdom. His work is a showcase of people, land and community—and the unity we share in the expression of our differences. Register.

Join us June 20th at the Climate Cafe Multifaith. Rodriquez will share his own story of moving from local journalism to a wide conversation about conservation, restoration, and sacred life ways.

June 20th, 11:00am Pacific Time / 2:00pm Eastern Time. Register.
