Bio

Horizontal Tabs

Bio #1

"As the social and weather climates intensify, I lead a pathway through the eye of the storm into the next dimension of living with Earth."

Rev Dele opens the global environmental narrative to include the voice of Mother Nature and nature centered solutions to our current crises so that we create JOY with our Impact! Her guidance gives you practical and spiritual tips so that humans can impact climate chaos in a way that enhances beauty, joy and inner peace.

Topics include "Seat Mother Nature at the Table!" where humor leads listeners to find that the land can bring the human family together across many social divisions.

Proceeds from her talks go towards developing the Soil and Souls mission enterprise which mentors young adults in transformation of the human soul. By aligning participants with natural rhythms, patterns and cycles, character is strengthened along with increased capacity to remain calm in the midst of chaos and transform rage into a useful stream of passion. With renewed vision, these leaders then organize resilience hubs using permaculture principles.

As a mentor, Dele works with spiritual leaders and Earthkeepers who are struggling with burnout and rage through coaching and spiritual retreats.

Dele’s B.A. comes from University of California-Riverside and MDiv. from Howard University School of Divinity. She is a grandmother, eco-theologian,and permaculture professor. Dele is facilitating director of Permaculture Association of the Northeast, chairperson of the New York chapter of National Women in Agriculture Association and serves on the UCC Council for Climate Justice, as council member for the National Congress of Black American Indians. She is ordained in the UCC with Indigenous affiliations.

Presentations

Presentations (3)
Wisdom is Calling

Across eons of time, liberators have first rooied their strength in Earth before balancing social inequities on Earth.

Includes a look at the sensuous relationships between Creator, Wisdom and humanity as they form the first beloved community. Biblically sound, ecologically provocative, and socially prescriptive for 21st century ethicists, justice and faith leaders.

Seat Mother Nature At Your Table!

Drawing from ecology and theology, Dele suggests that decision makers look to Mother Nature for real answers to social equity, community health, mental peace and emotional balance. When we give Nature a voice we can restore our land, renew our souls and balance our wealth. Dele presents a strong case in parable and song to shift from human centered to nature centered approaches to environmental concerns.

Motherhood IS Climate Justice

Dele’s Climate Reality Leadership joins her grandmother’s wisdom and the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Nature, to see the principles and practices of motherhood as an antidote to climate chaos.

Testimonials (3)
  • Rev.Dele was the preacher for our first 2022 Earth Day Program for the International Center of Faith, Science and History at Hood Theological Seminary. She effectively made the case for humanity to 'come home' to Mothet Earth by embracing the divine feminine often ignored in Western religion. She is gifted with the intuitive capacity to connect with diverse audiences and congregations amd move them to action! The conference participants received her message enthusiastically! I highly recommend RevDele as a speaker to add impact to any event focused on mitigating the effects of this current climate crisis. Her teaching and preaching and books are inspirational and offer various ways to sustain hope during these challenging times.

  • Rev Dele spoke at our annual convention. She is an awesome speaker that really challenges folks to think deeply about the spiritual connection and implication of our thoughts and actions. Our focus is on ending hunger, and Dele really helped us understand and expand how we relate to nature has everything to do with how we can end hunger. This is not an easy perspective to convey and Dele is masterful in her presentation and guidance. Blessings.
