Instead of merely giving up something valuable, renunciation chooses the more valuable.

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 Sense of Belonging

Online
This year’s theme, A Sense of Belonging, explores how sensory perception can restore our relationship with the earth, featuring conversations with Buddhist teachers, environmentalists, and writers. In addition to daily events from April 20–23, teachers from Spirit Rock’s EcoDharma Program will lead us in meditations that will take place every Monday in April, beginning April 6.

Awakening as the Earth

Online
This April, we’ll explore what it means to live with a deep sense of connection to the natural world. Drawing from the canon of Zen Masters, contemporary Ecodharma thinkers, and animist wisdom—with a clear Zen foundation—we’ll gently investigate the idea that our “inner” life and the “outer” world are not separate.

With Kazu Haga and Guests

Online
This three-month program offers a deeply immersive journey into the practices of Fierce Vulnerability. Together, we’ll deepen into the book’s principles through embodiment practices, guest speaker interviews and small-group conversations to support learning and transformation.

Indigenous World-Views & Buddhist Teachings

Online
Join Ian Sanderson (Mohawk Nation Turtle Clan) for this workshop that invites participants to explore the rich confluences between Indigenous world-views and Buddhist teachings, particularly as they relate to the idea of liberation: individual, communal, ecological and ancestral.
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.
