Consumption to Contemplation

A Nondualistic Perspective with Samrat Pathania

event

Hosted by 

Shambhala Touching the Earth Collective

From the Organizer:

In this 21st century, tremendous progress has been made in the development of zero-carbon technologies. And yet, we are struggling to decarbonize our societies and meet our global climate goals. Perhaps this should not surprise us; like many of our modern challenges, the climate crisis is in essence a spiritual crisis. To solve it necessitates a real shift in consciousness — from consumption to contemplation. Come join educator, engineer, and environmentalist Samrat Pathania to explore how eastern philosophy- the Upanishads in particular- can help us attain the inner balance that is necessary to end the upheaval in the external world.

Shambhala Touching the Earth Collective  is the host of this event. Please contact them with any questions.
