Valid response to ecological destruction doesn’t look one way. Like healthy ecosystems, we can invest in diverse, wild, and creative forms.
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.

Resilience, Shared Purpose, and Leadership in the Timeplace of Collapse
- July 27, 2025
- Norma Wong
Talking story, weaving poetry, and offering wisdom at the intersections of strategy, politics, and spiritual activism, When No Thing Works is a visionary guide to co-creating new worlds from one in crisis. It asks into the ways we can live well and maintain our wholeness in an era of collective acceleration: the swiftly moving current, fed and shaped by human actions, that sweeps us toward ever uncertain futures.

An Eco-Dharma Gathering with Adam Lobel
- June 26, 2025
- — July 3, 2025
- Dechen Chöling
This is a retreat for meditators new and old, activists, artists, farmers, scientists, healers, and leaders to recharge and share best practices. Guided by seasoned teachers that bridge contemplative and engaged methods, we join deep silent practice with community processes, attuning to the mosses, forests, and living Earth community as our primary guide.
A Mindful Earth Gathering
- June 26, 2025
- Mindful Earth Refuge
This month, we turn toward the practice of enoughness; how to remember it, how to feel it, and how to live from it in a world that insists we are never quite enough. We live in a culture shaped by extraction. Our time, labour, attention, and even our healing journeys are often caught in a loop of more. But the Earth and the dharma remind us that life is made not only of effort but of ease…of doing and being.
Finding Refuge in an Earth-Based Lineage
- July 1, 2025
- — July 6, 2025
- Natural Dharma Fellowship
In this EcoDharma retreat, led by Lama Willa Blythe Baker, Lama Liz Monson and Sarah Buie, we focus on connecting deeply with source, metabolizing loss, learning to seek and dwell in connection rather than isolation, in curiosity rather than despair and in love rather than fear. Hybrid retreat.
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.
