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.

Hybrid Program

Online
The Buddhist Peace and Conflict Chaplaincy program (PACC; pronounced like pax) draws on foundational Buddhist teachings and practices to uncover the innate potential of the human heart to foster peace within and without. Participants will intimately explore the role of a Buddhist Peace Chaplain – a spiritual caregiver who is dedicated to the flourishing of peace and supports those enmeshed in conflict with clarity, kindness, and impartiality.

with Nic Redfern

Nic will draw on the relational Dharma practice of Insight Dialogue to guide participants through Joanna Macy’s transformative framework, “The Work That Reconnects”, a four-stage process designed to help us meet our lives with greater courage, clarity, and compassion. Through contemplative dialogue and shared inquiry, we will engage in an inspiring and interactive group process to support the healing of our world in a powerful and effective way.

With Kritee (Kanko) and Imtiaz Rangwala

Take advantage of this opportunity to deepen your meditation practice in a community rooted in the Rinzai Zen Buddhist lineage, with a trauma-informed approach to healing and teachings inspired by Kingian and Gandhian Nonviolence.

What to know and how to support your community

Online
For Faith in Place's May Monthly Call we will have Maria Fernanda Chavez from the Union of Concerned Scientists join us. We will dive deeper into the background of Data Centers and discuss ways you can take action in your community.
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.
