The Power of Joyful and Loving Engagement

An EcoDharma Exploration with James Baraz

This EcoDharma Exploration featuring meditation teacher and Spirit Rock co-founder James Baraz, took place on Sunday, June 19, 2022. Find the recording and resources below. We welcome your support for this program.

In the midst of large-scale ecological harm and injustice, how might we cultivate resilience and an open heart? And how might connecting to unconditional joy strengthen our engaged practice?

One Earth Sangha offers monthly EcoDharma Explorations. In this gathering on June 19, James Baraz led an investigation of grief, joy, inspiration, and how we can energize our engaged practice in the midst of ecological suffering.

He is a co-founder teacher of Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Woodacre, California where he regularly teaches, and he leads retreats and workshops around the United States and abroad.

He lives with his wife, Jane, in Berkeley, California. He is the co-author with Shoshana Alexander of Awakening Joy: 10 Steps that Will Put You on the Road to Real Happiness.
