SACRED SOUND CIRCULATING CHAPLAINCY: ECO-MINISTRY WITH AND THROUGH ACOUSTEMOLOGY AND A ŚĀKTA PERSPECTIVE
Sacred Forests
Sustainability Act
Nature reminds the sage of the truth sensed in the teachings. My research focuses on multiple aims toward critical indigenous epistemologies for eco-theological reflection on vision quests and rite-of-passages as sages.
While recognizing Hindu ecological “cosmovisions,” I explore sustainability ethics within Caitanya Vaisnava eco-theological motifs that are passages for integration and absorption into peace and harmony, while acknowledging significant Vedic ecological visions and eco-theological motifs.
Furthermore, I aim to amplify the purpose of exploring religious sources for sentiment on interacting with the forest, while drawing attention to how Hinduism imbues divine love and awareness. I find that following the practice of self-renunciation as a sacred duty in forest life leads to natural techniques of satyagraha or persistence in search of truth.
At it all, my research aims to explore the benefit of eco-ministry in sacred forests, to expand upon ecological awareness and unconditional love that is revealed in prevalent in the ethics within Sanātana Dharma.

At this time, this ministry is aiming to study Dharma traditions, and particularly Hindu Kali tradition as the contributive force to a thesis on Forest Chaplaincy and Śākta Theology. While studying with a prism into Śiva womanhood, we will search and share women's own understandings of birth and death -- upon a synthesis of selfhood.
Currently, the ministry is looking to build a creative crew of artists and creators in our local area for Forest Sessions. While other primary passion projects include a sketch comedy club, at this time, LSC is working to open-up a large outdoor space for live music performance -- which may act as a general space for performing arts.
