Abstract

This article reflects on the process, challenges, and opportu- nities of conducting a graduate-level class in environmental philosophy for Catholic priests who were seminary formators in the time of pandemic in the Philippines. The final output of the course is a participatory action research project. I developed an engaged pedagogical framework, which draws from the works of Jennifer Ayres that incorpo- rated theological, philosophical, and ecological principles in teaching and facilitating students' research. The develop- ment of the tenets, the flourishing of all, right relations, and praxis began from a deep engagement with my students whose influence in the religious and cultural lives of the Filipinos could add to the flourishing of ecological con- sciousness of the Catholic community in the Philippines.
