A monthly online drop-in group, grounded in Buddhist teachings, inquiry, and community practice, to build equanimity in the midst of the climate crisis and develop capacity for a wise response.

Over 8 weeks, starting March 18th, we’ll listen to all 10 episodes of the podcast together — not just as listeners, but as active explorers and practitioners. We’ll let Joanna’s wisdom move from our heads into our bodies. We’ll tell the truth about what we’re facing and how it feels. And we’ll resource ourselves — together — to keep showing up in service of life.

It is an opportunity to reflect on how events are landing within us, what it means to us to be engaged Buddhists, and to find meaning through shared presence.

In a time of profound uncertainty—when democracy, education, and human dignity feel under threat—many of us are asking how to respond without losing our hearts or our clarity. Drawing from the source of engaged Buddhism and contemporary movements for justice and reconciliation, this talk explores what it means to live the bodhisattva vow right now.

At this gathering, led by Maho Kawachi and Ben Dillon, Tom Carling, a founder of SES, will offer reflections and guide a conversation on the intersection of activism and Dharma practice, and on the role of socially engaged Buddhism in our time.

Lama Willa Blythe Baker and Lama Liz Monson, in collaboration with the Council on the Uncertain Human Future and its founder Sarah Buie, invite you to take part in this fourth year of Rewilding the Soul. This yearlong series of interactive gatherings explores the deepest promise of our practice: coming present together within the social and planetary ruptures underway, and through practice and community, leaning into the truth of non-separation.

The Conscious Change Forum brings together practitioners from around the world who are integrating mindfulness, spiritual wisdom, and contemplative practice into social change work. Speakers include Deepak Bhargava, Michelle Alexander, Bayo Akomolafe, Rhonda Magee, and Gretchen Ki Steidle.

Join us for a special program with teacher David Loy, exploring forms of Buddhism that offer ways of nondual being with the natural world.

This session will explore Courage and the capacity to face these uncertain and tangled times with steadiness and purposeful action.

The next few years of our collective experience will be heavy with grief as we tend to the dying of our old world to open to the birth of a world anew. Grief work will be the next stage of healing activism.
