Way to go! Yes. I was just in Honduras and I was thinking about how thoroughly colonized they are with respect to religion. This was key to the oppression project: to locate the power outside of the people and the natural world and inside of a church that was mediated by Spanish priests. I have been trying to think of how people can get through the climate crisis and I keep coming back to the need to center an indigenous worldview located in each specific place. The western white model is generic and placeless. It works for a few.
