Valid response to ecological destruction doesn’t look one way. Like healthy ecosystems, we can invest in diverse, wild, and creative forms.

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.

The Nuclear Power and AI Webinar

Online
The Joanna Macy Center is honored to host two leading experts in nuclear technology and artificial intelligence. Join Professor MV Ramana and Professor Benedetta Brevini to learn about the environmental impact of small modular nuclear reactors and artificial intelligence.

A Decolonial and Experiential Approach

Online
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 with Zeinab Benchakroun and Aparna Bakhle is an invitation to decolonize our mind, body, and heart. We will deepen our conscious and unconscious awareness of the systemic patterns of power.
Together through practices, workshops, and service meditations we will bear witness to the teachings that this wild land is offering us, which run in parallel with the teachings of Thay and the Buddha. We will take refuge in our natural world while we spend time exploring and experiencing the regenerative cultures and practices of the Happy Farm.
During this residency, practitioners will have ample opportunity to connect with the land and beings in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, practice with four Ecodharma and Zen teachers, build community with fellow practitioners, and explore how our Buddhist practice can meet this world in crisis.
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.
