The time for prophetic remembering is now.
In preparation for the climate changes ahead, Atlanta faith leaders are invited to “Wisdom for the Storms,” a community conversation series remembering ancestral survival wisdoms.
Our first session will take place on Thursday, Oct. 23, from 7- 9 p.m. at the West Atlanta Watershed Alliance Outdoor Activity Center.
This opening conversation, “Healing Black Trauma with the Land,” led by Rev. Dr. Jamie Eaddy, is an altar call for those ready to mend and expand their relationship with all of Creation—a sacred relationship torn asunder by the evils of colonialism and chattel slavery.
Whether you are clergy or lay, already an environmental justice activist or still hesitant to touch grass, you are invited. You are welcome. You are called.
This conversation is in partnership with the Food and Land Institute of the Interdenominational Theological Center (ITC). Space is limited. Register below today. Dinner will be provided.
About The Facilitator:
Rev. Dr. Jamie Eaddy is a thanatologist, pastoral theologian, and grief doula whose work sits at the intersections of death, grief, spirituality, and justice. She is the founder of Thoughtful Transitions and The Ratchet Grief Project®, initiatives that create liberative, grief-informed spaces for individuals and communities navigating loss, violence, and systemic rupture. As Director of Counseling & Wellness Services at the Anti-Violence Partnership of Philadelphia, Dr. Eaddy develops holistic programs that center grief as both a personal and collective reality.
Her scholarship and practice weave womanist theology, Afro-futurist imagination, spiritual humanism, and pastoral care with a deep commitment to dismantling death-dealing systems. A professor, healer, and author of the forthcoming book Re-Membering the Self: A Liberative Theology of Death, Grief, and Resurrection, she is known for her ability to hold sacred space in classrooms, congregations, and community gatherings. Whether in barbershops, sanctuaries, or public forums, Dr. Eaddy invites people to reimagine grief as a path toward resilience, connection, and liberation.
