She began to grieve the death of her very creator-- the Earth-- while encountering wildfires, water scarcity, and stolen land on her thru-hikes. In the many small personal crises of living intertwined with land, Grace pieced together the larger catastrophe of climate disaster as spiritual death. In an endeavor to mourn the loss of Earth, Grace came to Harvard's Divinity School to work through theological understanding of ecological disaster. Activism begin with heartbreak, but Grace wants to know whose heart is breaking? Do humans grasp the severity of this death like certain species on the brink of distinction? Like a river gurgling with toxins? Like a mountain blasted with explosives? An eco-justice movement must depend on shared planetary grief, and Grace seeks to merge human tears with the mourning song of all creation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b774bf93917ee821620ef03/1727042740106-KSV7A3MCM7OCU9CX8LSD/Gustavo_ManicardiSchneider_headshot%2B-%2BGustavo%2BManicardi%2BSchneider.jpg Members - Gustavo Manicardi Schneider Gustavo Manicardi Schneider is a Brazilian legal scholar and social impact leader, currently pursuing LL.M. degrees at both Harvard Law School and the University of São Paulo.
