Climate Compassion Circle

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.

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.

This three-part course on EcoDharma, exploring the intersecting fields of Buddhism and systemic environmentalism, is focused on exploring the three levels on which our connection to the rest of the natural world manifests.
