Staying Human in a Burning World

Welcome to a 7-week in-depth online learning journey to nurture insight, compassion, community, and mindful action in service of the Earth.

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 contemplative online circle explores the relationship between language, nature, and shared human experience. Facilitated by author, poet, and ecopsychologist Lorena Saavedra Smith, the group will engage poetry as a practice of mindful witnessing, listening to the ways Earth, body, and society inform one another. Sessions include a short meditation, a selected poem connected to a monthly theme, and sharing of original theme-inspired writings or reflections. No prior writing experience necessary.
