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.

The Earth is My Witness

Online
As spring emerges, we gather for Community Practice Day, to honor this sacred reciprocity between self and planet, between awakening and care, we are invited to remember what the Buddha knew on the night of his awakening: that the Earth bears witness. In that moment of doubt and clarity, when he placed his hand upon the ground, the Earth did not remain silent. She rose to meet him—steady, alive, saying, I am here. I have always been here. This hybrid event is open to all.

With Geoff Shōun O’Keeffe, Zen Peacemakers Executive Director

Online
The 3 Tenets of Zen Peacemakers: Not-Knowing, Bearing Witness, and Taking Action. Our third tenet is taking loving action from not knowing and bearing witness. This vow makes Zen Peacemakers unique. This is how we engage and reach out with helping hands to relieve suffering in our troubled world. Please join us to share your work, your project, and your own taking action with others. This circle will be held monthly in 2026.
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.
