Belonging to the Earth

A Journey into Land, Lineage, and the Sacred

Hosted by

Spirit Rock Meditation Center

From the Organizer:

What does it mean to belong to this Earth? In a time of profound ecological and spiritual disconnection, this online series calls us to explore land, lineage, and the sacred.

Hosted by Dharma teacher and social justice activist JoAnna Hardy, this series brings together visionary voices at the intersection of ecology, art, and the sacred. John Francis, the Planetwalker, spent 17 years in silence and 22 years walking the Earth as an act of devotion. Osprey Orielle Lake, founder of WECAN International, is a leading force in the global Rights of Nature movement. Poet and Guggenheim Fellow Camille Dungy illuminates the deep, often erased bonds between people of the African diaspora and the land.

Sunday, June 14; 10:00-11:30am PT with John Francis
Wednesday, July 15; 5:00-6:30pm PT with Camille Dungy
Wednesday, July 29; 5:00-6:30pm PT with Osprey Orielle Lake

Recordings will be made available to all registered participants.

Spirit Rock Meditation Center is the host of this event. Please contact them with any questions.

Exploring and Reframing our Sense of Being

with Ayya Santacitta and Sumedha

May 31, 2026
— June 21, 2026
Big Bear Retreat Center

Online

With Buddha, Dharma and Sangha as our guides, this series explores re-cognizing and re-membering ourselves as part of a living, intelligent Earth and cosmos. By practicing to know ourselves differently, we uncover a sense of reverence for the Web of Life that opens us to the sacred, self-regenerative capacity of the biosphere we belong to. Changing from the ground up rather than from the head down will inform our ways of showing up in the world.
