Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Embodying Insight in Action

During this retreat honoring the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we will practice insight meditation while interweaving the teachings of the Buddha with those of Dr. King. With mindfulness and clarity, we will cultivate the capacity to liberate our minds and hearts so that we might better learn to do our own work in service of collective liberation and respond appropriately with wise, compassionate action in the world.
Sponsored by the BESS Family Foundation, Earth Awareness Community Retreats are intended to foster community among those whose work and interests are focused on the intersection of mindfulness/meditation and climate change. Retreats will be held in 2025 – 2027 at four geographically dispersed retreat centers. Attendance at the retreats is free, but other costs are participant responsibilities.

There is a way to be a human being
that causes all life to thrive.
