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 Four Part Series on Buddhist Eco-Chaplaincy (Panel 3)

This gathering brings Sarah Dōjin Emerson into conversation with Rebecca O. Johnson — exploring her decades of work as a social justice and engaged Buddhist teacher, advocate, and on-the-ground organizer across the U.S., and the relationship between climate justice, equity, and Buddhist spiritual care.
This year, for the first time since the Covid pandemic, BGR will be holding a Walk to Feed the Hungry in New York City. Led by Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi, participants will walk peacefully through Astoria Park, near the East River in Astoria, Queens, and then will gather at a nearby site for a vegetarian lunch, speakers, and Dharma fellowship. We hope that you will join us, either in person or in spirit, for this joyful morning of compassionate action in support of the work of Buddhist Global Relief.

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.

with Keynote Speaker Bill McKibben

This year’s Summit explores the theme Grounded Resistance, with four sessions focused on how we engage the world from a place of deep grounding, collective support, and sustained resistance.
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.
