The Council of All Beings is a powerful, interactive experience that invites us to step beyond a human-centered perspective and explore the world through the voices of other life forms.

In this Learnshop, we’ll reflect on our interconnectedness with Earth’s natural systems and the many beings who share this planet. Through guided meditation, small-group conversation, arts and crafts, and ceremony, participants are invited to speak on behalf of a non-human life form—such as an animal, plant, or ecological feature like a river, mountain, or forest. In doing so, we deepen our understanding of the challenges facing our living world while listening for the wisdom these beings may offer to guide humanity toward greater balance and care for the Earth.

Unity Minneapolis is hosting this experience for a second year, offering a meaningful and engaging 2½-hour session designed to nurture connection, creativity, and active hope in the midst of eco-anxiety.

Open to all ages, this free, intergenerational event welcomes participants from Unity ministries, affinity groups, and the wider community. Together, we’ll practice listening and speaking for the well-being of all creation, bringing forward the voices and wisdom of the more-than-human world.
