We do not walk this path alone.
Coming to terms with and responding to what is underway requires the support of community.

Upcoming Events
from Our Networks
How We Heal
- May 5, 2025
- — May 9, 2025
- Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health
Online
Our world is navigating a softened poly-crisis of grief, including personal and collective losses, climate disruptions, post-pandemic recovery, and ongoing global conflicts. Hosted by activist and meditation teacher Reggie Hubbard, this online event invites participants to gently hold these realities while exploring pathways to healing.
Towards Building an Anti-racist Culture
- May 6, 2025
- — June 17, 2025
- Work That Reconnects
Online
Participants will engage in practices to strengthen resilience, including resourcing, self-compassion, slowing down, and energy release techniques. We will also critically examine oppression at global, systemic, and internalized levels—acknowledging how supremacy culture shapes emotions, beliefs, and behaviors.
Authoritarianism, Collective Trauma & Imperfect Solidarity
- May 8, 2025
- Climate Psychology Alliance North America
Online
Our group of speakers will address collective trauma and the polycrisis. Moderated by Sarah Jaquette Ray, the speakers will discuss how the climate crisis has been mobilized in service of authoritarian nationalism, anti-immigrant xenophobia, and misogyny.
Healing Wealth in the Time of Collapse
- May 10, 2025
- — May 31, 2025
- Sacred Mountain Sangha
Online
In this four week series we will read and reflect together on the book authored by Anloor Ladha and Lynn Murphy. Although centered on the systems of capitalism and philanthropy, the structure of the text (recognizing paradox, moving into possibilities, shifting the mode of logic, and walking into the unknown) is a helpful framework for investigating and shifting other systems for which we are entrenched.
Sponsored by the BESS Family Foundation, Earth Awareness Community Retreats are intended to foster community among those whose work and interests are focused on the intersection of mindfulness/meditation and climate change. Retreats will be held in 2025 – 2027 at four geographically dispersed retreat centers. Attendance at the retreats is free, but other costs are participant responsibilities.
