Comunidad de Reflexión y Espiritualidad Ecológica Cooperation Circle started as a virtual space (a WhatsApp group) to share thoughts and reflect together. After a year keeping together through this remote communication, this international, interdisciplinary and intercultural group had their first face-to-face meeting for International Day of Peace, September 21, 2018. The name of CREES “Community of Reflection and Ecological” was elected by vote, and since then, they meet once a month with the goal of helping to build Peace in present humanity. Members share their art, poetry and reflections and they are open to different perspectives in all these fields. They have also had special activities offering aid to Venezuelan’s migrants who have arrived in Ecuador, victims of the humanitarian crisis that exists in their brother country. Members of CREE plan to have an Intercultural and Interreligious Encounter in Ecuador.

Reflections in Coronavirus Time: Religion and Spirituality in the Search for Balance

Due to the time in confinement (45 days on average) that we have been in the countries of the Latin American region due to the Covid-19 pandemic, there are few activities that we can share with our network. However, some members of our CCs are taking advantage of this time to reflect and write on topics such as religion, spirituality, dialogue, among others.
