We need not shrink from this world. We can be in meaningful relationship with Earth, taking what is wholesome and joyfully reciprocating.
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.

With Leslie Booker and Elaine Retholtz
- June 21, 2025
- New York Insight Meditation Center
There is a long history of folks using their spiritual practice as a foundation and catalyst for activism, and an equally long history of folks who realize that they need a spiritual practice to sustain their engagement. Marrying these two together is an art and practice that is both skillful and necessary. During this daylong retreat workshop on engaging with the world, there will be time to practice together, time to connect with others, and time to engage in reflective processes to help us understand how we can best show up at this moment in time.

What ways of practising can orient us to sanity while meeting the intensity of the times? What ways of being can draw upon the depths we know and intuit while doing justice to our love for the world? Join Adam Lobel and Catherine McGee for this non residential weekend of practice and teachings in London.
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.
