Facilitated by Kaira Jewel Lingo, this program will be a sacred gathering of wisdom keepers, teachers, and community leaders with a deep, embodied love for and active spiritual practice of caring for our planet. In this time of polycrisis, where overwhelm is everywhere around us and inside of us, we will give ourselves space and time to feel, return to our bodies, grieve, and also let in the joy and refreshment of the Earth and our true nature. Applications close on January 28th.

We each listen and speak from the heart, encountering and experiencing one another gently and with awareness. We are not solving problems or debating issues or making plans. We are making a healing space for each of us to hear and be heard, see and be seen.

Online
Each Climate Café Gathering features facilitators from The Resilient Activist and a Climate-Aware Therapist, who work together to create a supportive and nurturing conversation environment. This is your invitation to join us as we share our emotions, discover ways to enhance our activism in ways that feel healthy, and build a community of like-minded activists who understand you.
CLIMATE, with Christiana Figueres
- February 2, 2025
- Upaya Zen Center
Online
Join us on one or two Sundays each month, in the continued commitment to social and environmental engagement and justice in this very complex time, to exploring the roots of structural violence in our social systems, and to engaging in the world in a courageous way based on contemplative practice and views that actualize non-separateness, interbeing, equity, compassion, justice, integrity, courage, dignity, and unshakable awareness.
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.
