Joanna Macy on the Best Time To Be Alive
- Joanna Macy interviewed by Plum Village Community
- Video
Dominant culture has no map for the territory we are entering. Yet what if the grief we carry for profound ecological loss is not a burden to manage, but a doorway? What if the very intensity of your sorrow is proof of how deeply you belong to this Earth, and how much love is still moving through you?

In this practice, we'll cultivate equanimity by bringing mindful awareness to the elements within and around us.

with Rev. Dr. Jia Starr Brown and Rev. Ben Connelly
- August 8, 2026 — August 29, 2026
- Minnesota Zen Meditation Center
- In-Person
In a world rife with systemic injustice, “cutting through the noise” has never been more critical. Let us come together with a commitment to justice to embody peace and bear witness in shared public places. Attendees will be invited to reflect, pray, or simply rest in the sights, sounds, and feelings of the present moment. Facilitators will provide brief instructions for finding mindful quiet.
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.
