Earth Body: Resonance and Response

An EcoDharma Exploration with Lama Willa Blythe Baker

What is the relationship between Earth's vibrancy and our own? How might we sense, even subtly, the dramatic changes underway in the living Earth community? And what is possible when we begin to understand our body as inseparable from Earth's body, as an extension of our source and home? EcoDharma Explorations are offered monthly for you to explore a particular aspect of EcoDharma as well as develop a sense of community. In this gathering on April 17, 2022, Natural Dharma Fellowship founding teacher Lama Willa Blythe Baker invited us to commune with our bodies, our planet, and one another — and to allow this communion to support our engaged practice.
