As the oldest surviving species of tree known to exist, the Ginkgo tree has become a symbol of strength, hope and peace. Shem Center supports other organizations whose work, like the Ginkgo tree, symbolizes and embodies strength, hope and peace in our world.
Daily Meditations with Matthew Fox
The Creation Spirituality Lineage Calling All Social and Environmental Activists, Mystic Explorers, Justice Makers, Cosmic Thinkers, Earth Keepers

I highly recommend this site. Matthew is a friend and colleague of many years who has the pulse of today’s deeply conflicted and wounded world. He considers issues that ask for deep reflection and prophetic action. His U.S. election follow-up page offers us a way to be in today’s world. He asks,
“Do you sense conscience and spine and resistance and caring gathering steam after the election? And contemplation and action and carrying grief while going to do good work?
We now have four years of struggle and prophetic work ahead. Matthew’s website will be a good companion to help us remember that we are not alone.
