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 Behalf Of Our Collective

Online
This program with offers a unique and deep journey into deep embodied listening as a way of life. How we listen is how we perceive. Our capacity to see with the heart - and respond skillfully and courageously - stems from the quality with which we listen, within and out, to ourselves, each other, and the natural world. There are personal, interpersonal, transpersonal, societal, ecological, and mystical implications to this way of listening. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, until January 15, 2026.

With Tamsin Walker and Alexandra Martin

Online
Over the course of four 2 hour workshops, we offer a space to come together to explore personal and collective responses to our warming world. Through a mix of creativity, mindfulness, nature-based exercises and more, you will learn to share your hopes, fears and dreams in order to live more easily with them and with each other.

Writing a New Story of Human Nature

Online
Join us for a personal conversation with Michael Nagler – a pioneer in the field of Peace and Conflict studies who has dedicated his life to the values of nonviolence and spiritual discovery. Together we will explore the significance of nonviolence for the times we are living through and what it might mean to write a new story of human nature guided by the principles of nonviolence. This dialogue between Michael Nagler and Kerstin Deibert is part of the Buddhist Peace & Conflict Chaplaincy Speaker 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.
