Helena Norberg-Hodge examines how the scale, speed and distance of the modern economy have broken our relationships with community, nature, place and one another. She asks what it would take to move from a path of disconnection to reconnection, ultimately recovering our deep interdependence with the rest of life. This is an invitation to see more clearly, understand more deeply, recover our spiritual roots, and discover new possibilities for action. Exploring localization offers a practical pathway towards both inner and outer systemic change.

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 is an invitation to decolonize our mind, body, and heart. We will deepen our conscious and unconscious awareness of the systemic patterns of power. We will be working on how to avoid replicating tools of the dominant system, moving away from performative action and care, and centering underrepresented voices.

In this five-week study series, we’ll explore the hypothesis that the monastic Saṅgha functions—in ancient India and today—as an active social intervention: offering genuine mobility and liberation to people otherwise locked into their conditions by birth.

How can we make this Dhamma we love more effective as a response to systemic oppression?
