Join Alex Julie for an online Work that Reconnects spiral which will help tap into your inner wisdom and resilience to meet the challenges of modernity.

Jean Hammink, Beth Cleary and Kaia Svien, Work That Reconnects Facilitators from Minneapolis, will join us to share their experiences bearing witness to the dual risings of lethality and solidarity, and hate and love.

Join Chas DiCapua for this unique Practice Group to turn toward the social and ecological realities of our time with patient and gentle wisdom. We will use the One Earth Sangha’s EcoSattva Training as the basis of our exploration, forming a caring community in support of each participant’s learning, practice, and well-being.

The Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet (ZASP) online course explores this question in community, guided by a diverse group of Plum Village teachers.

As spring emerges, we gather for Community Practice Day, to honor this sacred reciprocity between self and planet, between awakening and care, we are invited to remember what the Buddha knew on the night of his awakening: that the Earth bears witness. In that moment of doubt and clarity, when he placed his hand upon the ground, the Earth did not remain silent. She rose to meet him—steady, alive, saying, I am here. I have always been here. This hybrid event is open to all.

The 3 Tenets of Zen Peacemakers: Not-Knowing, Bearing Witness, and Taking Action. Our third tenet is taking loving action from not knowing and bearing witness. This vow makes Zen Peacemakers unique. This is how we engage and reach out with helping hands to relieve suffering in our troubled world. Please join us to share your work, your project, and your own taking action with others. This circle will be held monthly in 2026.

Join Yağmur Güngör for a deep online eco-awareness learning journey designed to nurture deeper connection with Earth, community, and self.

In this gathering, Bayo Akomolafe and Laura Peña Zanatta invite participants into a shared inquiry around rupture, uncertainty, and transformation. Rather than offering answers or solutions, this online and in-person exploration treats the “crack” as a generative threshold—where fixed systems loosen, new ways of sensing and relating emerge, and we learn to stay with complexity, care, and unknowing.

This year-long course invites participants to engage in spirituality as a living, breathing force for personal and societal transformation. Through a curated blend of reflection, practice, ritual-making, storytelling, and beloved community building, we will journey through timeless wisdom, embrace the dynamic creativity of contemporary practices, and weave a tapestry of meaning that meets the complexities of our lives and realities of our times. Guest teachers include Bayo Akomolafe, Terry Tempest Williams, Lama Rod Owens, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Alixa Garcia and more.

This 18-month course offers a basic Buddhist training in the wisdom and skill needed to be a Buddhist Environmental Chaplain, i.e., those who work to support people in developing healthy, compassionate, and mutually supportive relationships with each other and with the natural world. The Faculty for the program are: Gil Fronsdal, Kirsten Rudestam, Kaira Jewel Lingo, Susie Harrington, and Ram Appalaraju.
