“I speak of the future, including for the climate of our planet, as open. This isn’t hope or optimism, though I used to call it this. It’s faith and a knowing that comes from 30 years of studying how our planet works that led me into relationship with the Earth and the Divine. And this led me somewhere I never expected to go, theology school and yoga teacher training. Science in partnership with faith, reason together with love, can offer possibility and depth in our lives.”

Dr. Heidi Steltzer is a global change scientist who took a leap of faith into yoga teacher training at Yoga Durango and theology school at the Iliff School of Theology this past year. She was a lead author on the High Mountain chapter of an IPCC report in 2019. This year, Heidi also established a new field school and retreat center in Cortez, Colorado to create space for transdisciplinary science and leadership in our world.
