ELON: Emerging Legacies Of Neocolonialism

During these times of ecological crisis, we must set aside time for ourselves and for our community to connect outdoors. Women identifying participants are welcome to participate in this silent Vipassana meditation and yoga retreat rooted in nature. Spend much of each day in nature, practicing meditation and gentle guided yoga (trauma sensitive and accessible for all bodies). This retreat is dana based.

In this gathering, Kaira Jewel Lingo offers wisdom and practices to help us ground in steadiness when crisis and confusion threaten to unseat us. Drawing from her extensive spiritual training, including 15 years as a nun in the Plum Village Zen tradition, she guides us in discovering what lies beneath reactivity—both within and between us—and responding with authenticity.

Join Kathleen Hoêtsu Battke for the third session in a 5-part series where we want to deepen our practice as Earth Stewards. After a short introduction we’ll explore the possibilities that the Way of Council offers for environmental activists, and we may experience the powerful energy of this transformative heart-mind practice in a short guided Council sharing.
