One Earth Sangha assistant director Tashi Black facilitated this community-focused EcoDharma Exploration on August 27, 2023. A recording is available below. We welcome your support for this program.
We aren’t made to go it alone. For effective ecological engagement, for a nourishing spiritual path, and for basic human thriving, community is crucial.
Why, then, can it be so difficult to find or build community around ecological practice? What gets in our way, keeping us siloed even as we might want to connect with others? Conversely, what might inspire us to come together in ways that strengthen our collective response?
Tashi has been a Buddhist practitioner since 2015, and he spent 18 months as a temporary monastic at Gampo Abbey. His practice has helped him recognize the awesome magnitude of the ecological crisis, as well as its deep interpenetration with racial, gender, economic, and other forms of injustice. He is most interested in person-to-person transformation of ecological and social consciousness, as well as the great spiritual potential of this radically uncertain time. He began volunteering with One Earth Sangha in 2018 and served as Assistant Director until 2024.
