Finding the Sacred in the Ordinary
- Lin Wang Gordon
What if “nature” is right here in the experience of being alive? A lifelong city dweller reflects on how mindfulness of the everyday elements of water, breath, food, and fire can dissolve the illusion of separation between ourselves and the living Earth community.

This world is signaling to us constantly, both inviting us out of complacency and, in the same moment, offering endless gifts.
The Path of Engaged Practice is itself made sustainable by compassion, commitment and community.

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.

Is the climate crisis also a crisis of modern men? And how can we give rise to new forms of masculinity oriented towards planetary health?

- Big Bear Retreat Center
Online
With Buddha, Dharma and Sangha as our guides, this series explores re-cognizing and re-membering ourselves as part of a living, intelligent Earth and cosmos. By practicing to know ourselves differently, we uncover a sense of reverence for the Web of Life that opens us to the sacred, self-regenerative capacity of the biosphere we belong to. Changing from the ground up rather than from the head down will inform our ways of showing up in the world.
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.
