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 Contemplative Circle of Nature & Word

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.

Triratna’s Engagement with World Problems

Online
A weekend of talks, panel discussions, breakout rooms and reflective practice. How can Buddhists respond with integrity to the great social and environmental challenges of our time – both directly and indirectly – rooted firmly in non-violent Dharma practice and perspectives?

One Day Sit

Dhamma teacher and Buddhist scholar Maitriveer Nagarjuna will guide us in mindfulness practices through sitting and walking meditation, a dharma talk covering B. R. Ambedkar’s approach to engaged Buddhist practice, and group reflection.

A Year-Long Series, Monthly on Sundays

Online
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.
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.
