Remembering Our Interconnected Nature

Ango—traditionally a seasonal retreat for monastics—is our opportunity to deepen practice together as a sangha. Through this fall's theme on engaged Buddhism, we'll explore the intersection of internal zazen practice and our responsibility to meet the suffering, inequity, and injustice in ourselves and in the world.

BCD offers a monthly gathering for those who want to engage in mindful reflection and find practical ways to be more involved in making change happen. We get together on the third Wednesday of every month.

This program explores how the perspectives and practices of Buddhist ecodharma can provide deep resources of clarity, courage, and ethical alignment for ecological and social transformation. Rather than separating inner practice from outer engagement, the gathering focuses on their mutual reinforcement: how meditation and view shape action, and how action in solidarity with life deepens practice.
