Robyn says, "Thank you for your gift of any size!"Pastor/Organizer (part-time)
Rev. Robyn Hartwig serves as part-time pastor/organizer for EcoFaith Recovery and three-quarter time associate pastor for St. Andrew Lutheran Church.  Her leadership of EcoFaith Recovery has been greatly enhanced by her training as a GreenFaith Fellow in 2009 and 2010. Her participation in the 2008 Climate Project training of 150 religious community leaders by former vice-president Al Gore, also influenced her leadership in the organization. She received training from Lutherans Restoring Creation to serve as a “Green Congregations” trainer. She also participated in the Industrial Areas Foundation’s Northwest Regional Leadership Institute to enhance her abilities as a faith-based organizer. In her free time Robyn reconnects with the natural world through hiking, drumming, and dancing.

Where is EcoFaith’s Office?

Good question! We operate a virtual office! But our community partners offer the following gifts:
St. Andrew Lutheran Church for office supplies, workspace, printer and copying
Salt & Light for meeting space, particularly the Beyond Fossil Fuels and Organizing in the Biocommons Initiatives.
Central Lutheran Church hosts the EcoFaith Recovery closet cabinet, allowing our volunteer leaders access to materials.
Thank you to all the community groups that help EcoFaith Recovery!
