DESCRIPTION:KPFA Radio 94.1 FM & presents:\n\nLisa Wells + Joanna Manqueros: A Zoom 
 Event\nBelievers: Making a Life at the End of the World \n\nIn search of 
 answers and action, award-winning poet and essayist Lisa Wells brings us 
 Believers, introducing trailblazers and outliers from across the globe who 
 have found radically new ways to live and reconnect to the Earth in the 
 face of climate change.\n\nWe find ourselves at the end of the world; how 
 then shall we live?\n\nLike many of us, Lisa Wells has spent years 
 overwhelmed by news of apocalyptic-scale climate change and a coming sixth 
 extinction. She did not need to be convinced of the stakes. But what can be 
 done? Wells embarked on a pilgrimage, seeking answers in dedicated 
 communities-outcasts and visionaries-on the margins of society.\n\nWells 
 meets Finisia Medrano, an itinerant planter and misanthrope leading a group 
 of nomadic activists to rewild the American desert. She finds a group of 
 environmentalist Christians practicing "watershed discipleship" in New 
 Mexico; another group in Philadelphia turning the tools of violence into 
 tools of farming-guns into plowshares. She watches the world's greatest 
 tracker teach how to read a trail, and visits botanists who are restoring 
 land overrun by invasive species and destructive humans. She talks with 
 survivors of catastrophic wildfires in California as they try to rebuild in 
 new ways that acknowledge the fires will come again.\n\nBlending reportage, 
 memoir, history, and philosophy, Wells opens up seemingly intractable 
 questions about the damage we have done and how we might reckon with our 
 inheritance. "Brilliant in its quest. . . [and] an essential document of 
 our time" (Charles D'Ambrosio), Believers demands transformation: If the 
 Earth is our home, if our home is being destroyed-how then shall we 
 live?\n\nLisa Wells is the author of The Grief Tower, Raising Up a 
 Generation of Healthy Third Culture Kids, and The Simple Life.\n\nSuggested 
 Donation $5-$20.\n
