On Wisdom, we will hear from Bhikkhu Bodhi, who in last year’s series urged us that “Buddhism must speak to the burning issues of our age.”

Together with Lakota hosts, we will spend time on the land, in council, in community, and in shared practice. This retreat is grounded in relationship with land, community, and one another.

Hosted by Dharma teacher and social justice activist JoAnna Hardy, this series brings together visionary voices at the intersection of ecology, art, and the sacred. John Francis, the Planetwalker, spent 17 years in silence and 22 years walking the Earth as an act of devotion. Osprey Orielle Lake, founder of WECAN International, is a leading force in the global Rights of Nature movement. Poet and Guggenheim Fellow Camille Dungy illuminates the deep, often erased bonds between people of the African diaspora and the land.

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.

Join our Parallax Press book club as we read America's Racial Karma by Dr. Larry Ward.

Join EcoDharma teacher Susie Harrington and poet Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer for two days of possibility and reality. What is the world we want to live in?

Join Kritee Kanko to gently explore the many crises we face—not to add to our despair, but to see them clearly. This is also a day of deep hope and practical vision. We will explore what it means to reweave a sense of deep belonging—to the Earth, to each other, and to our own hearts. We’ll ask a powerful, long-term question: What kind of ancestors do we want to be? What seeds can we plant today for a world we might never see, but that our great-great-grandchildren could thrive in?

Led by William Edelglass, the intention motivating this course is to provide an opportunity for participants to gain a more nuanced understanding of kamma/karma and how it is interconnected with other significant elements of Buddhist thought and practice.

How do we build disaster-resilient communities​ in times of ongoing tumult?

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.
