If there’s a response to taking part in domination of people and planet, let it be humility and resolve.
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.

Listening, Courage, and Collective Action in a Living World
- Join us live October 25, 2026
- 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.

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.

The Secular Buddhist Network has a discussion group for those who wish to share their experiences of and discuss new possibilities for bringing secular Buddhist ideas, ethics, and practices to community groups and political movements. The group meets the first Friday of every month, at 1 pm US Eastern Time.
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.
