EcoDharma Explorations

EcoDharma Explorations are a monthly offering featuring live sessions on Sundays. This series is developed and produced through a collaboration with Braided Wisdom, Spirit Rock’s ecoDharma & Transformational Culture Program and One Earth Sangha. We’re honored and excited to work with these partners. All sessions are recorded and offered with the invitation to support the featured guest as well as these organizations. 

Upcoming Explorations

EcoDharma Exploration occur on the fourth Sunday of every month. We send an announcement via our email list as soon as registration is open.

Upcoming

Social Transformation Begins Right Here

What can open up for the beleaguered heart and mind when we slow all the way down and just breathe? What does this body already know about the magnificent compassion of this Earth, even as we might struggle to receive it?

Upcoming

Turning Toward the Darkness Without Bypass or Collapse

Jess Serrante will share what she's learned in her years of friendship with Joanna Macy and her own experience carrying this lineage forward. Come ready to be tender with yourself and each other. We won't leave with answers — but hopefully with a little more room to carry what's true, together.

Past Explorations

Recordings of past explorations are available here.

Restoring Yin Leadership in Our Communities and Movements

Recognizing the overly-yang tendencies of the dominant paradigm, we will explore receptivity and relational presence as we navigate The Great Unravelling. Only when we bring into balance the yin and yang can we cultivate movements that celebrate the living lineage of our planetary body.
