From Chaos to Community: Growing the Vision, Skill, and Courage to Care for Our Common Home

January 19, 2026 @ 9:45 am - 10:50 am

From Chaos to Community: Growing the Vision, Skill, and Courage to Care for Our Common Home with Kristyn Achilich, M.S., M.Ed., Senior Instructor of Education and Director, Leahy Institute for the Environment

Drawing from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.鈥檚 call to choose 鈥渃ommunity over chaos鈥 in The World House and Pope Francis鈥檚 invitation in Laudato Si鈥 to care for our common home, this talk explores how interdependence can become our greatest strength. This presentation invites us to move beyond fear and fragmentation toward collective action鈥攄eveloping the vision, skills, and courage to live together justly and sustainably in a world that demands both. Through the work of the Patrick & Marcelle Leahy Institute for the Environment, Achilich models how vision can become practice, inviting us all to explore and embrace our shared interdependence.
