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.

Meeting the Paradox of Inaction with Compassion

Hosted by Lama Willa and Deborah Eden Tull, these gatherings invite us to experience Dharma not as fixed doctrine, but as a living, relational field—one that emerges spontaneously through authentic dialogue and shared presence. Guests for this series include Kazu Haga, Susie Harrington, Kritee Kanko, Adam Lobel, Thanissara, and Karen Waconda-Lewis, with additional guests to be announced. You only need to register once to access the full year of monthly Dharma Dialogues and you may join at any point during the series.
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.
