    How can we heal ourselves and the earth? How can we engage with the soul of a place? At Commonweal, we have always been grounded by our home place in the southern end of Point Reyes National Seashore. Though our work takes place around the world these days, we are always rooted here with the lineage of hundreds of healing retreats held on our land at our Retreat Center. Join TNS Host Susan Grelock Yusem in conversation with Visiting Scholar Craig Chalquist about how we can approach land with curiosity and how we can work with our imagination to re-envision our relationship with the land all around us.

  • Land All Around Us: Imagination as a Tool of Wisdom and Transformation with Craig Chalquist
    Jun 5 2025
    We usually think of the land as a backdrop to human affairs. But in ancient tales, places and their creatures show up as vital characters in the story. What do hills and fields say? Streams and rivers? Geology? How do all these and other eco-presences show up in our moods, our struggles, even in our dreams? What are our homes and roads trying to tell us? During his 3-month residency at The New School, Craig Chalquist invites us all to explore how imagination has been used in many times and cultures as a path toward redemptive, transformative knowledge and new practice—and how we might engage imagination today to re-envision our relationships to ourselves and the land all around us. In this first virtual event with Craig, meet him, learn how imagination has been used in various traditions as a source of wisdom and change-making, and begin a process that will continue through June—when you can meet him in person while he is in Bolinas. To prepare for the May 29 event, bring an example of a dream with some aspect of nature in them. What about this dream inspires(d) you? How has that inspiration changed you?
