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

Loka is offering a free 10-week online training experience for faith leaders as part of our mission to support faith-led environmental and climate action.

A Faith Call to Action
- December 11, 2025
- GreenFaith
Online
Join us for an evening of learning, reflection, and action. We’ll briefly share about the Make Polluters Pay campaign — why it matters, and how people of faith can help pass this historic legislation in 2026. Then, we’ll hear from faith and advocacy leaders about how our shared values of justice, compassion, and stewardship call us to act — and how your congregation can make a difference.
With Sharon Salzberg, Frank Ostaseski, and Roshi Joan Halifax
- December 14, 2025
- — November 16, 2025
- Upaya Zen Center
Online
This program will be led by Sharon Salzberg, Frank Ostaseski, and Roshi Joan Halifax. Love, while often categorized as romantic, also includes ethical action, social concern, and responsibility. It is grounded in seeing our interdependence with all beings.
Facilitated by Jeff Wagner
- December 27, 2025
- Groundwork
We invite you not just to talk about the future, but to join us there. We will spend the day dreaming, drawing, drafting delightful designs, and discussing the dramatic distance between our present world and the near future we will be visiting. You can expect the workshop to be active, fun, and engaging—it’s part reflection, part visioning, part theater game, part grief, and part radical hope.
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.
