EcoSattva Training Panelist Invitation • One Earth Sangha

One Earth Sangha is currently updating our EcoSattva Training, due to launch October 12th. We’re looking for people that are engaged in the world through a variety of means as a source of inspiration for EcoSattva Training participants. We're looking for a handful of people who maintain an active Dharma, mindfulness, or mindfulness-adjacent practice and are highly engaged in work on behalf of the living-Earth community to participate in a virtual panel.

We're looking for people that can comfortably speak from the heart to:

A diversity of communities and lived experiences;
The role of compassion, nonviolence, collective action, power, vision, authenticity, and courage;
The tensions one may face walking the path of practice and engagement with social and ecological justice;
How spiritual practice and social engagement interrelate and interact.

We're looking for artists and storytellers, policy wonks and legal advocates, disruptors and street-takers, healers and regenerators, trainers and strategists, organizers and researchers, working in the public, private, and unpaid on some aspect of the polycrisis, with a preference for work that explicitly touches the ecological. This list is incomplete. Many more important roles could be added on.

It's a sweet bonus if you've completed the EcoSattva Training yourself, but it's not a necessary qualification.

If selected, we will reach out by email to schedule a short preliminary interview, and then schedule a recorded Zoom panel with the other participants between early-September and mid-October. You'll receive a small honorarium for your time and contribution.

Thank you! We look forward to reading your submissions. Please reach out to if you have any questions or experience any issues with the form.

This form will close on September 1st.

What do you do?(Required)

Please share the who, what, where, when, how, and why of your engaged work. Tell us how you began, where you're at now, and what's on the horizon for you. Note: The polycrisis hyper-massive, matted ball of historic and ongoing crises. While the EcoSattva training focuses explicitly on the climate and ecological thread, your work may be on a different thread. If this is the case, please speak to how you place your work in the broader context and relate it to climate and the ecological.

Please share about your experience as an engaged practioner.(Required)

How has spiritual practice changed your work? How has your work changed your spiritual practice? Tell us about the tensions or challenges, benefits or rewards, the open and unresolved questions, for you, your practice, or community with the choice to live the engaged the life.

How does your social location interact with your work and spiritual practice?(Required)

This may be race, ancestry, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, economic class, geographic location, education level, physical ability, and so on. While we intend to put together a diverse panel, diversity takes many forms. No wrong answers here.
