Climate Cafe

Drawing on decades of Zen training, Indigenous Hawaiian knowledge, political strategy, and community practice, Norma shares the internal and collective shifts required to evolve with intention. Her teachings challenge us to release the logic of othering and splintering, to root ourselves in the mutual responsibilities of aloha and kuleana, and to step into the messy work asked of us in a timeplace of collapse.

Join Mark Coleman, Kirsten Rudestam, and Yong Oh for a 5-month intensive to nourish the inner ground from which meaningful action can grow. The program is designed especially for people working for ecological integrity and environmental justice, especially those feeling the weight of grief, exhaustion, or burnout. This offering is shared free of charge as part of Spirit Rock’s EcoDharma and Transformational Culture Program.

It is an opportunity to reflect on how events are landing within us, what it means to us to be engaged Buddhists, and to find meaning through shared presence.
