ECOSPIRIT & EARTHCARE is a joint project, convened and hosted by the Spirituality & Sustainability Global Network (SSGN), in strategic partnership with Pax Romana / Catholic Movement for Intellectual & Cultural Affairs USA (CMICA), and with the Center for Engaged Theological Education Foundation of South Florida (CETE).
This joint project's mission is to promote locally and globally, especially with youth and on behalf of a local-global POSTMODERN ELECTRONIC INTEGRAL-ECOLOGICAL CIVILIZATION, the following two themes for local/global regeneration: 1) regenerative ECOLOGICAL SPIRITUALITY seeking to learn from the eco-wisdom of all our human family's spiritual traditions, and especially Indigenous eco-wisdom traditions; and 2) regenerative ECOLOGICAL ETHICS for our personal and familial lives, for all intellectual disciplines, and for all social organizations, including professions and institutions, and especially Techno-Science.

The Spirituality & Sustainability Global Network (SSGN) seeks to inspire, educate, and network eco-spiritual leaders and activists, especially emerging young leaders, from across all the spiritual traditions of our entire human family, for personal, local, and global eco-spiritual and eco-ethical transformation.
SSGN was established by a group of eco-leaders who participated in a series of Spirituality and Sustainability interfaith conferences held at the Vatican in Rome and in Assisi, Italy, the medieval home of Saint Francis, patron saint of ecology.
The conferences had a special focus on the ecological cosmovision of the late Thomas Berry, who (following Pierre Teilhard de Chardin) taught that evolution is a mystical unfolding of cosmic co-creativity in which all creatures reveal the sacred presence of our loving Creator.
