Latter-day Saint Earth Stewardship Fall Forum 2025
"Inseparably Connected: Our Relationship with Heaven, Earth, and Each Other”
September 13, 2025 at Orem Public Library
This year Latter-day Saint Earth Stewardship (LDSES) is excited to be hosting our second annual art show in conjunction with our Fall Forum in Orem, UT. The Fall Forum is an annual event hosted by LDSES to celebrate and promote earth stewardship.
The theme of this year’s forum and art show is “Inseparably Connected: Our Relationship with Heaven, Earth, and Each Other”. This theme is derived from Doctrine and Covenants 93:33, which says “…. The elements are eternal, and spirit and element, inseparably connected, receive a fulness of joy;”. We are asking our artists, performers and speakers to explore the idea of connection—the connection of heaven and earth, spirit and body, spiritual and temporal, and the connection we have with God, nature, and our fellow humanity.
Events at the Fall Forum will include:
- keynote address by author and biologist Steven L. Peck
- performance by BYU dance
- Steward of Year award presentation
- art exhibit
- light refreshments
General admission to this event is FREE and open to the public, but RSVPs are helpful to plan seating and refreshments.
Fall Forum Fundraising Dinner
LDSES would also like to invite interested guests to our fundraising dinner prior to the Fall Forum. Join us at 5:30pm in the Sorenson Legacy Room for dinner with the LDSES board and fellow supporters and partners of earth stewardship. We will be joined by Marcus Smith, host of the Constant Wonder podcast, who will share brief remarks on our sacred relationship with the Earth and with one another. Dinner guests will also have reserved seating at the Fall Forum. You can purchase Fall Forum dinner tickets for $75 (or a table of 7 for $500). All funds go towards Latter-day Saint Earth Stewardship initiatives. LDSES is a 501c3 non-profit, so donations may be tax-deductible. Consult your tax advisor.
