Valid response to ecological destruction doesn’t look one way. Like healthy ecosystems, we can invest in diverse, wild, and creative forms.

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

Celebrating Black Dharma Teachings

Online
Each day for two weeks, you’ll receive an email with a prerecorded dharma talk from a renowned Black dharma teacher including Kaira Jewel Lingo, Ruth King, Tuere Sala, Devin Berry, Lama Rod Owens, Kate Johnson, Pamela Ayo Yetunde, Leslie Booker, and others. Teachings will explore the legacy of Black dharma teachings, which offer a deep perspective on resiliency and dharma.

Introduction to Embodied Anti-Racist Practices

Online
Unraveling Whiteness invites you to explore the wisdom of your body and emotions as well as the scope of your imagination as equally important learning tools for addressing systemic racism alongside understanding terminology and an analysis of power.​ The Work that Reconnects (WTR) Spiral forms the container in which the overall series is held and individual sessions are designed.

Mother Earth and the Six Paramitas

Online
How can the paramitas support us in navigating our modern lives? Can we find their essence, their roots, in the appearances and activities of the Earth – the primordial Bodhisattva? Alexander Julie will lead this 8 week online course.
Online
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.
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.
