La eco-espiritualidad como sentido gestante de la vida comunitaria desde la raíz Latinoamérica y del Caribe

Abstract

Este artículo quiere revindicar la espiritualidad y situarla fuera de los cánones de la teología moderna, donde lo universal, el progreso lineal, la razón y colonización son clave para su realización. En estas líneas, queremos impulsar una reflexión sobre la eco-espiritualidad en América Latina y el Caribe, como una fuerza que guía a la vida comunitaria. El foco de esta reflexión es revindicar la eco-espiritualidad como un modo de vivir profundamente arraigado en las maneras en la que nos relacionamos, con la naturaleza, con la comunidad y lo sagrado. En especial quisiera entrelazar la rica experiencia espiritual que palpita en el continente latinoamericano, que recoge Pedro Casaldaliga en su libro “Espiritualidad de la liberación” junto con el Diploma Superior en Pensamiento Latinoamericano y Caribeño: Perspectivas Crítico-emancipadoras, 2da. Cohorte, esto con la finalidad de ahondar en el rasgo principal que tiene la eco-espiritualidad: el sentido gestante comunitario
