Sustainability Now! | Kyle Kramer | Earth & Spirit | April 3, 2023

Get mindful with us on this week’s Sustainability Now! LIVE for the Pledge Drive, your host, Justin Mog, welcomes back to the studio Kyle Kramer, Executive Director of the Passionist Earth & Spirit Center (http://earthandspiritcenter.org) and host of the Earth & Spirit podcast on NPR (https://www.npr.org/podcasts/1004504654/earth-and-spirit).

We talk about what’s new at the Earth & Spirit Center and the trainings, retreats, and summer camps coming up this year. We also ask Kyle to share about some of the incredible guests he has had on his podcast recently, what he’s learned from them, and who is coming up on the podcast soon.

Don’t miss our conversation about some of the books he’s read, how he makes time for that and what remarkable things he’s read lately! Then we turn to stories of god speaking to us through natural phenomenon and the practices of asceticism (or “ludditism”) Kyle employs. We end with the magic sustainability wand question - if you could change one thing about modern life as we know it, what would it be?

The Courier-Journal profiled Kyle and the Earth & Spirit Center on March 30th: “Step inside Louisville's Earth and Spirit Center, devoted to mindfulness, social healing” https://www.courier-journal.com/picture-gallery/money/companies/2023/03/30/louisvilles-earth-and-spirit-center-focuses-mindfulness-healing/11535718002/
