/>Kairos' is Greek for ‘occasion' or ‘timing - the art of seizing the moment - a combination of understood context and proper timing.
The Turtle Island Project was founded to encourage people to find a renewed respect for the planet, nature, wildlife and fellow humans.
From native plants to Indigenous peoples, the world's residents - and especially Americans - are not being good stewards to the planet given to us by God.
Turtle Island Project co-founder and board chairman Rev. Dr. George Cairns says we can learn a lot from Earth-based cultures like the Celts and Native Americans.
Dr. Cairns said a form of chanting called jubilation (that he demonstrates in this video) helps him focus on the problems he wants to tackle - plus demonstrates the interconnection between humans and the Earth.

Turtle Island Project board chairman - Rev. George Cairns - says climate change, species extinction and other destructive problems are joining forces to signal the beginning of the end for humans - we would be the first species to ever bring about its own demise.
Dr. Cairns said humans are facing a Kyros moment.
A Greek word for ‘occasion' or ‘timing - Kyros is the art of seizing the moment - a combination of understood context and proper timing.
Dr. Cairns - the TIP co-founder - said the numbers surrounding species extinction are shocking - as humans have killed off nearly 1,000 species.
Species extinction and global warming are among the measures that demonstrate the dire future for Earth and humans if we don't change our attitudes.
Cairns said nearly 15,600 species are threatened with extinction.
A research professor with the Chicago Theoligical seminary, Dr. Cairns said over the past 500 years humans have forced 844 species into extinction with the exception of a handful who remain alive in manmade facilities like zoos and preserves.
Cairns noted that several 2007 United Nations reports state - that almost one-third of the world's species of animals and plants are expected to be at risk of extinction within 50 years due to climate change.
Australian environmental philosopher Glenn Albrecht has coined a term for the losses than humans have brought upon ourselves.
During a November 2007 the TIP sponsored an ecumenical retreat at the Eden on the Bay Lutheran Church in Munising, Michigan.
Dr. Cairns explained centering prayer and taught the group a form of chanting called jubilation
The Turtle Island Project was founded to encourage people to find a renewed respect for the planet, nature, wildlife and fellow humans.
During the interfaith retreat for religious leaders - TIP director Rev. Dr. Lynn Hubbard said it's the responsibility of clergy to speak out on social issues like the abuse of the environment and racism.
Turtle Island Project founders say we can learn a lot from Earth-based cultures like the Celts and Native Americans.

Solastalgia is a new term coined by Glenn Albrecht to describe profound sadness over the effects of the long-term drought in Australia
Solastalgia: The distress caused by experiencing the environmental degradation of one’s home, leading to a sense of loss and lack of belonging.
Glenn Albrecht, environmental philosopher at The University of Newcastle (Geogaphy and Environmental Science Dept.), on Solastalgia:
Solastalgia has its origins in the concepts of nostalgia, solace and desolation.
Solace is derived from the Latin verb solari (noun solacium or solatium), with meanings connected to the alleviation or relief of distress or to the provision of comfort or consolation in the face of distressing events.
Solace has connections to both psychological and physical contexts.
One emphasis refers to the comfort one is given in difficult times (consolation) while another refers to that which gives comfort or strength.
A person or a landscape might give solace, strength or support to other people.
Special environments might provide solace in ways that other places cannot.
If a person lacks solace then they are distressed and in need of consolation.
If a person seeks solace or solitude in a much loved place that is being desolated, then they will suffer distress.

Kyros, Greek for "unique moment in time," gives people a platform to serve God.
Kairos (Kyros), a fullness of time, an appointed time purposed by our creator.
Kyros (KIR os): The Greek word for power that is legitimate, but limited and compassionate
Kairos’ is Greek for ‘occasion’ or ‘timing.’ Kairos is the art of seizing the moment.
Kairos, or kairotic time, refers to God's eternal time.
Kairos is the ancient Greek term that can roughly be interpreted as a rhetorical combination of understood context and proper timing.
Wikipedia quote:
Kairos is an ancient Greek word meaning the "right or opportune moment". The ancient Greeks had two words for time, chronos and kairos. While the former refers to chronological or sequential time, the latter signifies "a time in between", a moment of undetermined period of time in which "something" special happens. What the special something is depends on who is using the word. While chronos is quantitative, kairos has a qualitative nature
