Taking Action

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.

On Possibility, with Rebecca Solnit, who reminds us that “we make the future in the present with what we do or fail to do.”

This nature-based retreat with Peter Williams, Manny Mansbach, and Karen Waconda will draw from the wisdom of Tribal Nations and the Buddhist meditative tradition to connect us deeply with ourselves, others and the entire natural world.
