This May, Mountain Cloud is hosting a month-long Ecodharma residency program with Zen teacher David Loy.

Join us—along with key thinkers including Zak Stein, Rebecca Henderson and Jon Kabat-Zinn—at Harvard University for a transformative one-day conference focused on bridging education, systems change, and human flourishing.

We will also critically examine oppression at global, systemic, and internalized levels—acknowledging how supremacy culture shapes emotions, beliefs, and behaviors.
