Mark Hathaway is an adult educator who researches and writes about the interconnections between ecology, economics, social justice, spirituality, and cosmology. He currently lives in Toronto, Canada.Mark has long worked as an ecological and social justice activist, particularly in ecumenical and interfaith circles. After completing his degree in math and physics, he lived in Peru for eight years working in base Christian communities and popular education. On returning to North America, he studied creation spirituality and then completed a masters degree in adult education at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (University of Toronto). More recently, Mark has worked with social justice coalitions and interfaith ecology initiatives and, for the past decade, with The United Church of Canada. At the same time, he has continued to research and write about his passion for ecology, cosmology, and spirituality. He has published articles in a variety of magazines and books, including two chapters of "God and the Market: Steps Toward a Moral Economy" focusing on ecological economics and eco-theology.Mark began his collaboration with Leonardo Boff to write "The Tao of Liberation: Exploring the Ecology of Transformation" nearly a decade ago. Together, they worked to create a broad synthesis covering such diverse fields as economics, ecopsychology, cosmology, and spirituality in the search for wisdom to address the challenges of the times we live in.Mark enjoys working with groups giving workshops and retreats. While rooted in the Christian tradition (particularly in areas related to ecology, justice, and mysticism), he is able to draw on a diversity of spiritual traditions in his work and strongly believes that the wisdom of all the great religious paths is needed to find our way to a just and sustainable future. He is fluent in both English and Spanish and is happy to facilitate events in either language.
