On the Path of Engaged Practice, the advocate and the contemplative are one.

Welcome to One Earth Sangha, an EcoDharma network supporting a global community in the Path of Engaged Practice.

As ten thousand years of climate stability is ending, the call to develop inner stability has never been more clear.

Events from Our Networks

A Masterclass with Helena Norberg-Hodge

Helena Norberg-Hodge examines how the scale, speed and distance of the modern economy have broken our relationships with community, nature, place and one another. She asks what it would take to move from a path of disconnection to reconnection, ultimately recovering our deep interdependence with the rest of life. This is an invitation to see more clearly, understand more deeply, recover our spiritual roots, and discover new possibilities for action. Exploring localization offers a practical pathway towards both inner and outer systemic change.

A Year-Long Series, Monthly on Sundays

Hosted by Lama Willa and Deborah Eden Tull, these gatherings invite us to experience Dharma not as fixed doctrine, but as a living, relational field—one that emerges spontaneously through authentic dialogue and shared presence. Guests for this series include Kazu Haga, Susie Harrington, Kritee Kanko, Adam Lobel, Thanissara, and Karen Waconda-Lewis, with additional guests to be announced. You only need to register once to access the full year of monthly Dharma Dialogues and you may join at any point during the series.

A Work That Reconnects Retreat

Using the Work That Reconnects practices, meditation, time in nature, movement, art and ritual we will explore how we can navigate this evolutionary time on planet earth without tuning out or burning out. Led by Constance Washburn, Rukmini Iyer and Alex Julie.

A Decolonial and Experiential Approach

While it may have been hiding under “rule of law” or “free market”, colonialism and supremacy function as the scaffolding of the industrial capitalist world. This series is an invitation to decolonize our mind, body, and heart. We will deepen our conscious and unconscious awareness of the systemic patterns of power. We will be working on how to avoid replicating tools of the dominant system, moving away from performative action and care, and centering underrepresented voices.
Sponsored by the BESS Family Foundation, Earth Awareness Community Retreats are intended to foster community among those whose work and interests are focused on the intersection of mindfulness/meditation and climate change. Retreats will be held in 2025 – 2027 at four geographically dispersed retreat centers. Attendance at the retreats is free, but other costs are participant responsibilities.

There is a way to be a human being
that causes all life to thrive.
