Our Response
As a Virtual EcoDharma Center, our principal offering is the wisdom teachings and practices that support turning towards the reality of our situation and cultivating appropriate response. Guided by a teaching council representing several Buddhist traditions, we offer core programs such as the EcoSattva Training as well as EcoDharma articles curated from around the web by our editorial team.
Our offerings regularly integrate an understanding of how other social movements including racial and economic justice inform, support and compliment ecological concerns. Through a steady flow of insights, reflections, practices and fresh perspectives, we support our membership in developing a stable, rational and compassionate response to our collective challenges.
We invite you to explore and take part in our EcoDharma offerings, highlighted below.

We can meet our eco-anxiety and soothe the suffering we find there. Yet we need not be ruled by fear.

Editorial Notices
August 3, 2025 — Retraction:
On March 24, 2025, we published Why Mind Cultivation is Essential Foundation for Bhutan’s Mindfulness City, an article by Sneha and Andrew Sheng, with an editorial introduction written by our team. Unfortunately, the way the introduction was presented made it appear as though those framing remarks were written by the original authors. That was not the case, and we take full responsibility for this oversight.
As soon as the issue was brought to our attention, we deleted the article and delisted it from search engines. We have also updated our editorial process and platform to ensure that any future introductions are clearly attributed and distinguished from republished content.
We regret the confusion and any harm this may have caused.
