We do not walk this path alone.
Coming to terms with and responding to what is underway requires the support of community.

- World BEYOND War
Online
War and the Environment is a six-week online course with a strong emphasis on reflective practice, collaborative learning, and community building throughout. As wars, preparations for wars, and environmental destruction escalate—and much of the focus remains on human conflict—it is vital to better understand and respond to the far-reaching impacts of war and militarism on people, all living beings, and the planet. This course empowers you to do just that.

- Off-Grid Retreats
During these times of ecological crisis, we must set aside time for ourselves and for our community to connect outdoors. Women identifying participants are welcome to participate in this silent Vipassana meditation and yoga retreat rooted in nature. Spend much of each day in nature, practicing meditation and gentle guided yoga (trauma sensitive and accessible for all bodies). This retreat is dana based.
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.
