With Kritee Kanko

Online
This half-day interactive Ecodharma workshop will be interwoven with meditation, journaling, and contemplative sharing periods. Kritee will guide us in taking a loving look at what grieves and angers us collectively. Together, we will name the scale of stresses and traumas we face both individually and collectively.

Honoring all the Ways We Show Up

Online
There are endless ways to engage lovingly with a world in need, and this class, led by Cara Lai and Yong Oh, is meant to support people in finding their own natural way of doing so. The world needs each and every one of us to show up and engage, to do what is ours to do.

Sacred Waters of the World

Online
The 7th Annual Religion and Ecology Summit will explore the theme of elemental consciousness with a focus on water—a vital element at the heart of life itself.
