The harms of the colonial culture of domination have been vast, tragic, and heart-rending to people and ecosystems. Who are we if we do not take concrete steps for the liberation of us all from systems of domination? Thus, we are called to organize in community for transformation. The ongoing damage to the Earth, to its many species, and to our fellow humans calls us out of our privileged position . . .and into what? We admit that we don\u2019t know, yet we claim not-knowing as a necessary condition. If we knew in advance how the transformation would go, it wouldn\u2019t be transformative. We join our spiritual practices of Zen and nature/multispecies connection with transformative conservation practices and offer what we have to a bruised and aching world. What is Transformative Conservation? How do we do it? What are the questions we should be asking? Can we build a virtual community?
