International Conference on Environmental Mindfulness

Experience meditating together for the well-being of people, planet, and participants - a monthly live meditation designed for activists, open to all levels.

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.

This workshop invites participants into an embodied and relational learning experience where we will be practicing these capacities. Drawing from climate psychology, neuroscience, and the Work That Reconnects, we will move through the spiral offering a mix of contemplative practice, nature connection, teaching, experiential activities and group process.
