In an age of unprecedented strain on the Earth’s systems, it’s clear that there’s no shortage of work ahead of us. An emphasis on action on behalf of life is admirable and appropriate—and at the same time, without deep understanding of ourselves as part of the planet’s life force, our efforts may be misguided or counterproductive.
In this EcoDharma Exploration, Thanissara invites us to connect more deeply with the felt, direct experience of being within the sacred web of life. From this place of belonging, we can move into ceremonial relationship with nature, from which we’ve never been separate. Situated in relationship, both viscerally and symbolically, we can find the time and space to atone for harms done while contacting a clearer sense of voice, advocacy, and solidarity with the living Earth community.
