Mushim Ikeda led this EcoDharma Exploration on Sunday, February 23rd. Please find the recording below and welcome your support for this program.
“I Am Large,” is a daily EcoDharma practice in three short steps to connect us to a path of action. It is a dynamic and generative brief practice that offers hope, humor, and a deep Dharma perspective. Because as a social media meme says, “so many coping strategies are based on the idea that your anxiety is unwarranted, and right now needs more of an ‘okay, extremely warranted but you still gotta water the plants or you’ll have fascism AND dead plants’ approach.”
Mushim Patricia Ikeda is an internationally-known secular mindfulness and Buddhist teacher working primarily with justice activists and Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) meditation practitioners and with people with disabilities and chronic illnesses. A core teacher at East Bay Meditation Center in Oakland, California, she is an author whose writing has been published in Lion’s Roar, Tricycle, Buddhadharma and various anthologies. She is the recipient of an honorary doctor of sacred theology degree from the Starr King School for the Ministry. Mushim was selected by Lion’s Roar Buddhist media magazine as one of twenty-six “Great Buddhist Teachers” in the January 2022 issue. Mushim’s website is www.mushimikeda.com

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.
