During these times of ecological crisis, we must set aside time for ourselves and for our community to connect outdoors. Women identifying participants are welcome to participate in this silent Vipassana meditation and yoga retreat rooted in nature. Spend much of each day in nature, practicing meditation and gentle guided yoga (trauma sensitive and accessible for all bodies). This retreat is dana based.

In this gathering, Kaira Jewel Lingo offers wisdom and practices to help us ground in steadiness when crisis and confusion threaten to unseat us. Drawing from her extensive spiritual training, including 15 years as a nun in the Plum Village Zen tradition, she guides us in discovering what lies beneath reactivity—both within and between us—and responding with authenticity.

Join Kathleen Hoêtsu Battke for the third session in a 5-part series where we want to deepen our practice as Earth Stewards. After a short introduction we’ll explore the possibilities that the Way of Council offers for environmental activists, and we may experience the powerful energy of this transformative heart-mind practice in a short guided Council sharing.

Join us on one or two Sundays each month, in the continued commitment to social and environmental engagement and justice in this very complex time, to exploring the roots of structural violence in our social systems, and to engaging in the world in a courageous way based on contemplative practice and views that actualize non-separateness, interbeing, equity, compassion, justice, integrity, courage, dignity, and unshakable awareness.

In the midst of rapidly intensifying socio-ecological disruption that likely represents the deepest collective crisis humanity has faced, our Dharma practice is an invaluable resource. Zac Ispa-Landa will offer Dharma teachings and practices that can help us transform the external instability we face into a source of liberating insight and wise action so we can show up in the world as agents of liberation and compassion.

Join our active online training to learn all you need to know to host climate emotions circles with your community and beyond.

Climate cafés focus on feelings; no feeling is too difficult or taboo to discuss. Participants are invited to share as much or as little as they are comfortable with. Our events are only available for individuals 16 years of age and older residing in Canada.

The conference will focus on social-ecological justice through a collective liberation framework, addressing our current polycrisis and envisioning pathways toward a just, resilient, and regenerative future for all. Engage in dynamic discussions and hands-on workshops that challenge the status quo and inspire courageous action to resist ‘Business as Usual.’

This half-day interactive Ecodharma workshop will be interwoven with meditation, journaling, and contemplative sharing periods. Kritee will guide us in taking a loving look at what grieves and angers us collectively. Together, we will name the scale of stresses and traumas we face both individually and collectively.

Join James Baraz, Carol Cano, Bonnie Duran, Ayya Santacitta, special guest Christiana Figueres (online), and more, on-land at Spirit Rock or online, for a transformative Earth Day weekend.
