Spanning six days towards EARTH DAY, we invite you to join us in deepening our practice as Earth Stewards – meditating together, sharing in Circles, and getting down to Earth in the places we live. Please join Chris Goto-Jones, Kathleen Hoêtsu Battke, Martin Pradel, Sensei Jorge Koho Mello, Olga Falceto and Geoff Shoun O'Keeffe for this series event.

Join us as we celebrate the natural world and reconnect with our love for this beautiful home through meditation, music, presentations, and experiential practices outdoors on the land (weather permitting). Program to be held on the land only.

While much else about the subject can cast big shadows, we look at climate breakdown from three uplifting perspectives in the areas of science, action and healing. These international experts give us positive insights for our heads, our hands and our hearts, offering knowledge, practical advice and inner nourishment.

Rather than approaching racism as a problem to solve or an idea to analyze, this retreat invites participants to bear witness through presence, silence, and shared experience. The practice asks us to suspend assumptions, release fixed views, and listen — to the places we visit, to one another, and to ourselves. This is not an activist training or educational seminar. It is a practice of transformation, allowing the experience to change us.

While it may have been hiding under “rule of law” or “free market”, colonialism and supremacy function as the scaffolding of the industrial capitalist world. This series with Zeinab Benchakroun and Aparna Bakhle is an invitation to decolonize our mind, body, and heart. We will deepen our conscious and unconscious awareness of the systemic patterns of power.

During this residency, practitioners will have ample opportunity to connect with the land and beings in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, practice with four Ecodharma and Zen teachers, build community with fellow practitioners, and explore how our Buddhist practice can meet this world in crisis.

Together through practices, workshops, and service meditations we will bear witness to the teachings that this wild land is offering us, which run in parallel with the teachings of Thay and the Buddha. We will take refuge in our natural world while we spend time exploring and experiencing the regenerative cultures and practices of the Happy Farm.
