What is it to live a life that acknowledges our participation in the flow of resources and energy, recognizing that this can have wholesome and unwholesome results? How can we embrace our belonging to this world as we minimize harm and honor the true impact of our everyday living?

EcoDharma Explorations are offered monthly for you to explore a particular aspect of EcoDharma as well as develop a sense of community. In this gathering on Sunday, December 19, Susie Harrington of Desert Dharma led us in an investigation of living courageously and responsibly in the face of delusions of endless growth and consumption.

Support this Offering
