SUMMARY:An Evening with Lifelong Climate Activist Bill McKibben
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Livestream | Free and open to the public \nThird Act Washington presents author\, educator and environmental activist Bill McKibben on July 2 at 7:00pm in a talk about what’s needed now to save our planet and democracy\, what’s bringing him joy and gives him hope\, and why he believes Third Act can have a huge impact on making our world a better place for all of us\, and for generations to come. \nBill is renowned for mobilizing popular support for action on climate justice and democracy.  He has authored 20 books\, including The End of Nature (1989) which is regarded as the first book for a general audience about climate change. He also helped found 350.org\, the first global grassroots climate campaign\, which has organized protests on every continent\, including Antarctica\, for climate action.  In 2022 he founded Third Act\, a national organization with over 70\,000 members that organizes people over the age of 60 for action on climate\, justice\, and democracy. \nBill will give a call to action to inspire and motivate attendees to take stepped-up action on climate and democracy\, especially in the face of intensified climate disruption\, political polarization and backlash\, and our democracy in peril. His talk will be followed by a Q & A. \nRegister Today!

SUMMARY:SeaTac Clergy Day Apart: A Day of Play
DESCRIPTION:Clergy of the SeaTac District are invited to a day away from your usual ministry setting in the form of a a play date with colleagues! Several of your peers have planned a day of renewal that differs from clergy gatherings you may be used to: \n\nThere will not be any formally offered education\, formation\, or learning\, only a brief grounding prayer and space. After that\, you are welcome to invite conversations on topics of your choosing\, and you are also welcome to put in earphones and be an introvert if that is what play looks like for you.\nWe will not be meeting in a church. This is to help us all fully participate and receive in a less work-related environment\, where we will likely avoid going into a professional autopilot. It’s a space for open-mindedness and relaxation.\nThis play is designed to be opt-in/opt-out friendly. Following your renewal needs\, you can participate or not.\n\nYour $10 registration will include communal lunch in a food court with a variety of options and a free-style painting project. Click here to register.

To make the best use of our time\, please review the materials your conference is providing before you formulate and ask questions. We will be utilizing Zoom’s Q&A feature to answer as many questions as possible.
