Rev. Dr. Kenda Creasy Dean joins us for a candid conversation about faithful experimentation in a fragile world. Drawing on Dean’s work in social innovation and ministry and Stucky’s leadership in ecological formation, they will explore how Christian communities discern when to act boldly, how to cultivate courage without recklessness, and how risk can become a site of spiritual growth. The dialogue will invite participants to consider how uncertainty itself may be fertile soil for hope.

Set against the living landscape of the Farminary at Princeton Theological Seminary, this early screening with Allison Carruth offers a rare glimpse into her forthcoming documentary with BlueLab Media. Featuring vignettes from the California Film Project, the evening explores the fragile and resilient worlds of oysters, giant kelp, and abalone—and the human communities intertwined with them in a changing climate. Surrounded by fields, water, and wildlife, the Farminary becomes an extension of the film itself, inviting deeper attention to the stories shaping our ecological future. A Q&A with Carruth will follow.

Aimee Nezhukumatathil, author of Bite by Bite: Nourishments and Jamborees, joins us for a conversation rooted in land and table. Over dinner, we will explore how attention to food and the natural world nourishes both artistic practice and spiritual formation. Drawing on poetry, personal story, and the Farminary’s working farm, the dialogue will invite participants to savor creativity as an embodied, ecological act.
