Listening, Courage, and Collective Action in a Living World

- Featuring
- Kirsten Rudestam
What might it mean to be guided by a wisdom greater than our own, without assuming that we already know what that wisdom is saying? In our time together we’ll explore listening as a practice of collective discernment — listening to one another, to the places we inhabit, and to the living world of which we are a part.

If the Buddha were alive today, he would categorize human-centered perception as a vipallāsa, distortion of perception. What does it look like to see through and beyond this perception?

Rapture, Rupture, Regeneration
- Mark Coleman
Between poisoned soil and coral regrowing on a sunken fishing boat, something in us might already know: we were never separate. What happens for the heart and mind when we intentionally know ourselves as one way Earth hears, grieves, and heals?
The Path of Engaged Practice is itself made sustainable by compassion, commitment and community.

How Buddhism, Politics and Social Engagement Serve Democracy

The approaching U.S. midterm elections are stirring anxiety, urgency, hope, and uncertainty for many of us. How can we participate in this political moment without hardening our hearts? How do we stand up for what matters while remaining grounded in compassion, wisdom, and respect for our shared humanity? Tara Brach, Ben Connelly and Kaira Jewel Lingo will explore how Buddhist practice can guide us in meeting these challenges.

A Contemplative Circle of Nature & Word
- September 24, 2026
- Buddhist Coalition for Democracy
- Online
This contemplative online circle explores the relationship between language, nature, and shared human experience. Facilitated by author, poet, and ecopsychologist Lorena Saavedra Smith, the group will engage poetry as a practice of mindful witnessing, listening to the ways Earth, body, and society inform one another. Sessions include a short meditation, a selected poem connected to a monthly theme, and sharing of original theme-inspired writings or reflections. No prior writing experience necessary.
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.
