Valid response to ecological destruction doesn’t look one way. Like healthy ecosystems, we can invest in diverse, wild, and creative forms.
Welcome to One Earth Sangha, an EcoDharma network supporting a global community in the Path of Engaged Practice.
As ten thousand years of climate stability is ending, the call to develop inner stability has never been more clear.

On the Question of Flying
- Kristin Barker
The middle seat has always been the one to avoid. But the squeeze of ecological harm is there for all of us, whether or not we fly, tightened by countless industries that depend on our disconnection. Can a wakeful presence, right in the discomfort, open up possibilities beyond guilt, blame, or denial?
The Path of Engaged Practice is itself made sustainable by compassion, commitment and community.
