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.

A Year in the Practice & Ritual of Breaking our Hearts Open

The next few years of our collective experience will be heavy with grief as we tend to the dying of our old world to open to the birth of a world anew. Grief work will be the next stage of healing activism.
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
