One of the translations of Dharma is Nature. As we become aware of ourselves as part of nature we can recognize more about the non-human relatives around us. Practicing awareness in this way is supportive of the development of wisdom and compassion and can positively impact our perspective on Climate Justice movements and our lives.

Birder and Dharma Teacher Anushka Fernandopulle led this EcoDharma Exploration on September 24, 2023.

At Anushka’s request, we did not record this EcoDharma Exploration. We apologize for our previous promise to provide the recording of the gathering, which we were not able to honor.

Anushka Fernandopulle

Anushka Fernandopulle trained in Buddhist meditation for over 30 years. After studying Buddhism at Harvard, she spent four years in full-time meditation training in the US, India and Sri Lanka. She was invited to teach Dharma in 1998 and later went through a four year meditation teacher training program with Jack Kornfield, Joseph Goldstein, Sharon Salzberg and other leading teachers.

Dancing with Despair

Turning Toward the Darkness Without Bypass or Collapse

Jess Serrante will share what she's learned in her years of friendship with Joanna Macy and her own experience carrying this lineage forward. Come ready to be tender with yourself and each other. We won't leave with answers — but hopefully with a little more room to carry what's true, together.

Compassion in Every Breath

Social Transformation Begins Right Here

What can open up for the beleaguered heart and mind when we slow all the way down and just breathe? What does this body already know about the magnificent compassion of this Earth, even as we might struggle to receive it?
