On the Path of Engaged Practice, the advocate and the contemplative are one.

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 Contemplative Circle of Nature & Word

Online
This contemplative online circle explores the relationship between language, nature, and shared human experience. Facilitated by author, poet, and ecopsychologist Lorena Saavedra Smith, the group will engage poetry as a practice of mindful witnessing, listening to the ways Earth, body, and society inform one another. Sessions include a short meditation, a selected poem connected to a monthly theme, and sharing of original theme-inspired writings or reflections. No prior writing experience necessary.

A Live Online Learning Community

Online
This 11 week live course and community is a journey into kincentric ways of sensing, relating and organising, lived in and through your own life and the more-than-human communities you are part of.

Singing for Liberation – A BIPOC Retreat
